<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 857530, member: 19065&quot;]Thanks and the only answer is that I haven&#039;t a clue if that happened to be the case although if we can track down the designers and/or engraver(s) of these works by name and bio, then we might be able to learn if there was any reference implied in the design and further if this emblem was meaningful and requested by Eaton, the client. Great question and something I will keep in mind as I read and search about ABNCo, Eaton, cinderella stamps, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that the Eaton company were from <a href="http://www.pittsfield-ma.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pittsfield-ma.org/" rel="nofollow">Pittsfield, Massachusetts </a>and insomuch if you visit their website you may notice there are some honor guards(?) dressed in tartan kilts pictured on the homepage. Perhaps there are descendants of settlers from the Highlands where the Thistle is quite the historic icon. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsfield,_Massachusetts" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsfield,_Massachusetts" rel="nofollow"><i>Wiki Pittsfield, Ma</i></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
