Gillinder & Sons Incorporated/Philadelphia,Greensburg-PA(Operated: 1863-Today), Introduced: mid 1880s Introduced
• NOTE: Sid Lethbridge: While we can't document (100%) that this pattern was made by Gillinder, we certainly can attribute (99.999%) it to them based upon the finial which appears as a paperweight in the Gillinder catalog from the mid 1880s.
NOTE: Sid Lethbridge: Each piece in the pattern has a different band-flowers or fruit. The only constant design elements are the two birds (covered pieces only) and the horizontal tree branch, oak leaves and acorns on the bases.
