Thread needs a bump! This bowler sold at auction not too long ago, but I didn't see it end up here. I wish there was a better photo of the sweat stamp. Other than the location printed, there is a stylized "& Co". Is the brand name Bear & Co.? Maybe so -- see ad below. Anyway ... I though the embossing was cool.
