Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 297753, member: 136"]Here's a bit more about the retailer, giving further credence to the thought that these plates are older (albeit after 1910), rather than newer. These are all (separate) entries from The Crockery and Glass Journal, NY, 1910: Charles R. Lynde will open a china and glass wareroom on September first at 424 Boylston Street/(Berkely Building). He has been connected with Richard Briggs Co. for twenty- five years and will have a fine wareroom. This store will make the sixth in an area of three blocks. Charles R. Lynde has returned from a visit to the New York market. Mr. Lynde has a force of carpenters building the appointments for his new store in the Berkely Building and expects to open it shortly after October 1st. Owing to the length of time required to finish his new store, Charles R. Lynde was unable to open October 1. He hopes to be in readiness in about two weeks. Mr. Lynde was with the Richard Briggs Co. for twenty-five years. His new warerooms are in the Berkeley Building. Charles R. Lynde has opened his new store in the Berkeley Building with an excellent display. F.W. Smart, formerly with W. H. Glenny, of Buffalo, and later with Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Co., is now with Mr. Lynde. Charles R. Lynde, the Back Bay china and cut glass dealer, reports a good, seasonable business .[/QUOTE]
