Monumental Bronze Company - White Bronze Catalogue

I have had many people comment to me they wish they could see an old catalogue for the White Bronze/Zinc monuments.  I personally love these markers and have photographed a number of them. So I went in search of a catalogue and I found one! I found it on the Association of Gravestone Studies website. So here it is and I am also adding some of my own photos of the actual monuments I have found listed in this catalogue.

Announcement

The designs shown in this pamphlet are reproductions of some of our most popular styles in low and medium-priced family monuments.  We have a great many others, also designs of headstones, grave covers, markers, posts, etc., and plenty of higher priced designs.  If you don't find what you want among these designs don't fail to let us know; we can surely please you if we know what is wanted.  In this grade if designs, however, those here shown cover the majority of our orders, even where people inspect our whole line.

PRICES and dimensions are given below.  Order by number only.  Our price on a monument covers all inscriptions desired, all in bold raised letters, also suitable emblems, if wanted (See page 16), all without extra charge. All these designs are made with removable inscription tablets and new inscriptions can be added at any time at very slight expense.  Lettering can be put on all for sides of square monuments, and on the sarcophagus styles on the back as well as front.

Information in regard to our material, testimonials from customers, etc., will be sent you herewith.

Yours for Artistic and Ever-Enduring Memorials,

Largest Zinc Monument I Have Ever Seen - Gregg Monument

This is one of the largest Zinc monuments I have ever seen.  It is atleast 15 to 20 feet tall.  It's in incredible shape.  The Zinc markers hold up to practically everything.  Sadly the overcast day makes the coloring on this marker look more gray but it is actually a grey green color.

Do You Know How To Tell Which Pre-WWI Marker You Are Looking At?

I have photographed more military stones than I can count.  I had the hardest time trying to figure out which side the the civil war markers were for.  Until a friend sent me the Department of Veteran Affairs link.  I has made it much easier to identify them now.  So I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

Union Markers & Spanish American War Markers:
(Info from Department of Veteran Affairs.)
The inscription on the recessed-shield headstone is limited. For Civil War Union and Spanish American War, a shield is inscribed which encompasses the arched name and abbreviated military organization. Because of the special design and historical uniform significance, no emblem of belief or additional inscription may be inscribed. The dates of birth and death are inscribed below the shield.

Union

 Spanish American War

 Generally the Spanish American War markers will have Sp. Am. War noted on the marker.

Confederate Markers:
(Info from Department of Veterans Affairs.)
The inscription on the special style for Civil War Confederate is also limited. The Southern Cross of Honor is automatically inscribed at the top. The name is arched, followed by abbreviated military organization and dates of birth and death. No additional items can be inscribed.
