Nr. 854, has Script L above HAL and Nr. 955 has HAL.


Can't seem to quickly put my fingers on an image of an example akin to Nr. 854 w/ Script L but I have strong suspicions that Lepage - Schaefeer & Kaufman(Gustave)-(CAC touchmark) were in Daly's sourcing modell.


Schaeffer & Kaufman - Liege Belgium, Hart E. Berg - agent - 281 Church Street, New York(1889 Merchant listing)
