Oooh, good thinking! The pin probably dates to around the 1940s, shouldn't be later than the '50s, since Robbins was pretty much only using their...
Thanks, Judy! I don't do much with the orchids, the vandas have free-hanging roots and the others are all in bark, so there's no root-rot (the...
Eh, crummy pics, the black & white looked more clear on my phone, but washed out on my laptop. Maybe this is better: [ATTACH] ~Cheryl
Only have about 30 now, several phals and mini phals, a few cattleyas and vandas, and an assortment of others that I'd have to check the tags...
Thanks, she is sort of adorable, and very bratty, a retired breeder for some woman producing snow-dogs with fancy coloring (why do we need more...

If I recall correctly, the German .835 fineness was most commonly found post WWI and into the mid 20th century - pretty simple design, don't think...
Hunhhh, that's very odd, and narrows your window on the two to 1965-68, since Marshall left in '68, and the unmarked one should date prior to the...
If you can get a decent pic of the bottom of a cup with all the marks shown, I can post it on that forum, but truthfully, it would be mostly to...
