<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 289635, member: 313"]Yes, that was my impression of them too (SC&L / fastidious) looking at the other items they are involved with. I can believe the verdigris took time to develop, but the hallmark cartouche of the rose is "as manufactured" from what I see. The rose is a nice looking symbol, but it looks like crap filled with silver the way it came out.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the back page of the booklet, which I didn't include a picture of, is a reference to two companies. One is The Third & Elm Press. I'm guessing they did the booklet. The other is: "The Newport Metals Company, Inc. 128 Mill Street, Newport, Rhode Island". The only metal would be the silver as far as we know. I will try to get some info on them later today (won't have a chance to check for a few hours).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
