<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 1407402, member: 59&quot;]Here are pictures of mine. White marble? There are some &quot;shiny bits.&quot; They are spread out but are visible on all sides. </p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see a J has been carved into it (I assume that is the front) but has an unusual way of ending the &quot;fish hook&quot; part of the letter. I realized this morning that the extra piece could very well be a T&nbsp; and that would mean that, instead of this item having been owned by my great grandfather, whose first name was Howard, it probably belonged to his father (my 2 times GGF) whose first name was Thomas. Thomas died in 1892 at about 71 years old. He was born in London, England, emigrated to New York City in 1842, was a pianoforte maker in NYC and died in Brooklyn.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no other embellishment to the book form. Is it odd to be so plain? If it was made in England would that make a difference?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]222516[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]222517[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]222518[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]222519[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
