Re: "For" on 1909 A grade build card
Thanks, I think we're on the same track with "Watkins _____".
We've been trying to figure out the latter part; could perhaps be "Collander"??? Perhaps a retailer?
Will keep looking and post back as/when we get any leads.

"For" on 1909 A grade build card
Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on the name in the “for” on my 1909 A grade build card please?

Thanks for any help in the research!
