did they get these made in Germany and stamped with there name ? That was not at all unusual for the time. Late 19th and early 20th century the U.S. cutlery industry was growing, but there was still a large import business. Many hardware distributors and local stores had cutlery and other items made with their proprietary trade names (like “Heather in this case) stamped on them. The congressional tariff acts of the 1890s began to change the cutlery landscape and reduce the imports but it didn’t happen over night.zed6309 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:31 pmThank you KenMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 3:47 pm Wonderful - that’s a rare stamp!

Saw a lot of men wearing kilts but no women wearing them. 
Great pic Ken, my mums side and my dads mums side are Scottish, mostly from GlasgowMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 7:12 pm Looks like it. And that advertisement looks like the beautiful Scottish Highlands countryside. Here’s a picture I took when there last July. Taken from the window on the train. “Lingers in the memory of those fortunate enough to have seen it” indeed!

My ancestors on my fathers side are Scots. While visiting Scotland last summer we found the old clan lands near Inverness (overlooking Loch Ness in fact). My clan (one of the Clan Chattan affiliates) backed the wrong side during the Jacobite rising. Several were killed in the Battle of Culloden and many more were subsequently exiled and scattered all over the world, after which the clan lands were lost/forfeited. Today there is nothing left there but a small park with some monuments, but while there I met one of my long lost “cousins” who lives nearby and happened to be there that same day.zed6309 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 10:26 pmGreat pic Ken, my mums side and my dads mums side are Scottish, mostly from GlasgowMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 7:12 pm Looks like it.
