ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Probably the inspector's mark or the team that forged it's mark. Not date correlated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelonian Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That's odd, my Wilkinson has a big "W" stamped into it in the same place yours has the "6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furry Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm in NS Canada , I figure it to be around mid to late 1800 , just curious on the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What's odd about a factory having more than one Inspector or manufacturing team?I work in a factory and each line has a different inspector and for each shift too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
