re Crighton's
Got an answer from Jaime at Marway's regarding the maker marks on the Crighton badges in their upcoming auction.
Here is her note, in brief:
"On All three badges, the makers stamp is quite faint, but I make out CRIGHTON'S with no E. T275 shows the best markings, the other badges are quite faint. I wonder if it's a typo in Charlton, I've attached a picture... . You're welcome to use it on the forum if you want."
As it appears all three in the current sale are marked "Crighton's" (or "Crichton's", which is what it looks like to me), her question about the correct spelling and Charlton may be accurate. Question now is, does anyone actually have a badge with the mark spelled as "Creighton's", or one with a clear 'G' as opposed to a 'C', for that matter?
My thanks to Jaime for this info, as with the upcoming show circuit and sale I know she's busy.
