Hi Pierre , Gentlemen..this is one of my first posts on this Forum , nice seeing you here as well !
Gents ..the second Cast Iron Plaque Pierre posted is mine ..I took that photo and tried sharpening it up but , I’m still learning how that Photoshop program works.
Here are a few more shots since it's hard to gauge the size of these Plaques by close up shots ...and they are as heavy as they look.
What's interesting here is ...Pierre's has a MM , mine does not. Either there was more than one Foundry producing these or , it could be just a variation and a later pattern. Mine was removed from a Building that was being torn down so luckily they did not remove the 4 original Bolts . Look at the ends ..it look like these were anchored into cement.

Here's an interesting item I just bought ...it's the die that the printer would use when the Company Stationary was being made. This would be embossed on the Paper showing that the Factory had been given this Award
