This pattern, known as "Button Arches," is one of the most common to find decorated with ruby stain and engraved with names or places.
I saw where Officalfuel put one up also. Did you see his Paul??
no, Wing, I just know the pattern. It was first produced about 1897 by George Duncan and Sons, continued by Duncan and Miller for some years after. You'll even find these with souvenir dates into the 1930s and 1940s, showing 1) the pattern had a long life, or 2) *possibly* old stock was used.
Kool....I like that Wing.....lol
