Also in my search for this catalogue I cam across this advertising pamphlet and thought I'd share it also.

I love that little booklet on AGS. I wonder what the most complete catalog looked like. I have been searching for one with more enblem choices. I've seen some not listed in the one on the AGS site.
ReplyDeleteLove that you found a double tablet like illustrated.
Great post Tammi! I like how the names/dates are molded onto the plaque or stone and not engraved. Genealogists find zinc markers easy to read, even after 100 years.
ReplyDeletevery neat post! i love that material. the old illustrations are so cool.
ReplyDeletei've seen that "manly little man" grave before! it was in a powerpoint presentation in a community education class i took on gravestones. definitely one of the most interesting stones (and ways of dying) i've seen.
I have found two Monumental Bronze Co. grave markers in our town cemetery. Both are for foreign language ones. From 1901 & 1906. I'm wondering if you know the date of the catalog in your posting.
