Hey Goodoldstuff

I think that's a great idea too! In the mean time maybe this will help with your looking for the company information. An address:
USA 1911 STATIONERY COVER...SYRACUSE SMELTING WORKS USA - eBay Signs, Advertising, Collectables (end time 13-Oct-07 11:14:11 BST)

I can't read the red logo on the back. Eyes and computer screen dont have the resolution they used to. , maybe you can read it.

Thanks
Leo

I do love the hunt. I go to yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, auctions...you name it. It's my job! Someone's gotta do it. I sell on Ebay, do Estate Sales for other people, have space at an antique mall, and keep books for my husband's company (he restores log cabins). Ebay can be quite profitable. I once bought an old bank at a garage sale for $4, put it on Ebay thinking it should do well....the darn thing sold for $1084!! no decimals in that number.
