1899 BBB ? Help With Hallmark

[danielplainview]

I’m hoping some of the English pro’s can help me out with this date. AF&Co BBB Own Make. Stamped anchor, thin long lion, and letter “d”

I make it Birmingham 1903 FWIW.

Here is the chart I have:

Very cool find BTW. :clap:

1903-1904 The 'Own Make' indicates that the briar was turned in England rather than an imported bowl from France.

Thanks guys. I was going by another hallmark chart. Puffer, thanks for posting that. I’m putting that one in the archives. The chart I was using didn’t have the anchors.
I’ll post some pics if I get some time to clean it up. Here’s a 1912 catalog illustration of it. Pretty cool. It has an “exact size” picture for my model.

Very nice, Dave. I have a small apple, probably from the 30's. Small but a sweet smoker. Would love to see the 'afters'.

That's awesome Dave! Those early shapes are really something. Definitely post some updates and don't delay getting that one done!
1903 - the first Model A was delivered and Jack London had "Call of the Wild" printed, amazing.

Can't wait to see the "after" pics :clap:

Dave, you suck.
I'M supposed to be the only human who finds the surviving Own Make BBBs shown in that catalog. ESPECIALLY the military mount ones.
We're going to have to have a duel or something. This cannot continue.

I'm looking forward to seeing that resto. Very cool.
