Message:: [QUOTE="Peasnquiet, post: 1969727, member: 14662"]The site I provided has several pages of the symbols and their meanings.  Your tree and stork are both on there.From the site:On the left of the factory mark, the letters L or M, and special markings (in this case a tree) indicate the (production) year codes.In the bottom right corner of the mark you should also find the decorators signature.Furthermore the factory started making use of an "stamp", instead of the hand painted mark, around 1900.Accordingly the numerals, present in such pieces, state its order number.As mentioned before the factory also used the symbol of a "window" from 15 August 1896 onwards. This symbol tells us that the piece was given approval by its head of painting, D.P.J. de Ruiter.[/QUOTE]
