    I'm having trouble making out the name. It's pretty worn. Is it an occupational mug? Thanks for taking a look.

    If you're taking guesses on names, something like S A Boudreaux maybe?

    I am, thank you. Hard enough making out the old lettering, the fading didn't help.

    Thanks again, Dale

    The last letters look like "oudremn" but can't read the first. A photograph at a different angle might help.

    The letters aren't shaped in an arbitrary way; they're a blackletter typeface. If you look at the Textur column, you will see what I mean..
