Wharfmaster Posted July 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2015 Found this service set in an antique shop not too long ago. The cap/cover is marked Vanguard 154 and collars 137. I assume they are probably mid-50s. Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted July 28, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2015 I had seen this one recently and thought, I have never seen this pattern H-H device with the looping rope around the anchor flukes. So, am I correct that this is also a later Vanguard item? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted July 28, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not going to call it Vanguard, as it's just marked Sterling. H&H made these emblems unmarked and sold them to other firms to card and sell. We've seen it on WB cards (I believe it was WB) in the past, among others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted July 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 29, 2015 Tried like hell to figure out who WB was and never even considered Wolf-Brown with EGA's. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
