This Antique California Tile is what I found Today May 23, 2024, going through a drawer of old books, that I've had for Years, it's an S & S (Solon & Schemmel) Tile Co. - San Jose, Cal Tile with a great Art Deco, or Craftsmen Design, I'm not sure if I got this one, or my Wife did, but it's in unused condition. The Tile is 6"x 6"sq. x 5/8" thick. The Table Runner, that I photographed it on I found at the Flea Market, this past Saturday, and to me they had to be Photographed together! :^D
This Tile is an Original, unused Tile, from the S & S Tile Co. San Jose, Cal. :^D
Thank You for Looking, all Comments, on this Post are Welcome and Appreciated! Bill :^)

Apparently, Stone Light Tile still makes the Replacement Tiles using the same Presses, as S & S did in the 1920's - 30's Hmm! Thanks for looking! Bill :^)

Thank You Kevin, Yes it is! I wish I could figure out, if this is an original, or one that they made recently, it doesn't change, how it looks, just information wise! Bill :^D

A Find at the Flea Market Today. (just to see one). in Concord. California, an early Circus Show, hand painted on an 8' x 10' Canvas for "The Mind Reading Lady", with a Painted picture of Her sitting in a high back chair with bubbles of what She was seeing in audience minds, painted in front. With the Chicago Awning Company, that made it, signed on the bottom, and a stamped on the back! :^D I forgot to take a photograph of it, and the full Name of the Awning Company. It had 1 1/2" grommets through a 3" triple layer Canvas around the edge. I'll have to see if I can have the person that was selling it to send me a picture, so I can Post it Here! It was Sold! Not to me! Bill :^)
