Origin Notes
For these marks, see the three-part single die stamp used in Buffalo New York and attibuted to John S. Putnam (working 1836-1848) who worked for a number of merchants. The arm & hammer, buffalo, and eagle marks are very similar, but not identical to those pictured in John McGrew, Manufacturers' Marks on American Coin Silver, (2004), p. 73. (L. Clouser, cataloguer, 11/21/2009)
