    image.jpeg Been trying to figure out the name of the company for this shipping label found on a shipping cover of a hat trunk. Any ideas?
    TIA, Bryan

    and not from an angle. Take the picture straight on facing the label.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Looks like it might be called Maynard's Express. This page from an 1894 book mentions a Maynard's Express under Keyport (New Jersey), in the Ogden Hall section of the listing:

    There is also this newspaper page from 1884 that mentions a court case related to the Maynard's Express company. It is in column 4, in the second paragraph under "Monmouth Courts."
