Found some interesting information about the history of the Judd family and their various endeavors at manufacturing brass hardware of many types: <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ctnhvbio/Judd_Family.html" REL="nofollow">Judd Family</A><BR/><BR/>Looks like you could be on the right track regarding drapery hardware. Or something similar, anyhow.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686573997920802423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18371270.post-13783335785847085292008-12-13T21:32:00.000-07:002008-12-13T21:32:00.000-07:00That's a fascinating bit of hardware you found.

The tricks would be, what search terms to use, and is that March 1889 a filing date, a patent granted date, or the inventor's daughter's birthday?<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, Judd Manufacturing seems to be a company in Connecticut that made household hardware of various types, for what it's worth. You probably already found that much, though.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686573997920802423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18371270.post-28762205803015626282008-12-13T20:38:00.000-07:002008-12-13T20:38:00.000-07:00Glad you made it safely back!We finally got power ...Glad you made it safely back!<BR/><BR/>We finally got power this afternoon at about 2:30, 37 hours after it went off. In the interim, we dealt with multiple trips out on Friday to try and get basic supplies, and dropping temperatures on Friday night that made sleep an exercise in bundling up in blankets.<BR/><BR/>We're not back to normal yet. I'm feeling pretty sick from all the stress and weather, actually. But we're getting there.<BR/><BR/>I'll try to post an update soon.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686573997920802423noreply@blogger.com
