Here&#039;s my latest.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the jeweler&#039;s mark of Charles W. Wendell who setup his business in Chicago in about 1856. He was at 87 Lake St., later moving to 170 State. Before coming to Chicago he was in a partnership with his brother Jules in Oswego, NY.(Wendel &amp; Brother) The two different spellings of his surname aren&#039;t a mistake, they used both.</p><p><br /></p><p>His coins were likely stamped between 1856 and 1859. He took in a partner named Sigmund Hyman in 1859 and changed the name of the company to Wendell &amp; Hyman. Earlier, while in Oswego, he and his brother Jules had also stamped coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
