Thank you! 1904-1914 seems about right for the date of this creamer, so I expect this is the correct Insular Line.
This little creamer has been thumbing its nose at my research efforts. I can’t find anything about the “Insular Line”, which I’m guessing was a...
Could be! Great suggestion. Many thanks! About the correct size, and shape. [IMG]
Good spotting. It says “Contents none of your business / burglar proof / fireproof” in what appears to be a child’s writing.

I’ve discovered there was a Dominion Glove Co. Ltd. here in Canada (where the hand was found). So, perhaps “Dominion” is the maker, 24 is the...
