    Hi All,
    I have this sweet little piece of pottery, (2 1/2"H x 4" base diameter) that I'm trying to ID. The only CTS I can find is for the Central Technical School in Toronto, but not sure this is right so thought I'd post it here to what folks think. The design looks right to me for what I believe is the date (1921). I was hoping to find a list of students from the time period but coming up with nothing, and only having the one name, Cole, it is near impossible to search that way.
    I have sent several messages to people associated with the school but haven't heard anything back.
    any thoughts or information appreciated.
    thanks for looking:)

    I think you are on the right track but as old records get thrown out as institutions move or "modernize" you may not get any further.

    I'd just go with what you've found so far. Nice piece.

    thanks blooey, glad to hear you think I'm on the right track with CTS:) I found out the year books were put on-line but you have to be a member of ancestry.ca to view them, I'm not a member so will have to find someone that is.

    Yes I am. I tried searching for the surname Cole, living in Toronto in 1921 and added the "Key Word" Central Technical School. Limited the results to School Lists and Yearbooks but did not get any results in the list for a school by that name. It was late though, so I figured I would try again today. A little early, yet. ;)

    thanks cluttered:)

    thanks for looking bakers:) there was no info on what years they put on the site, so it was just a thought to try and find out who Cole was
