Luck was on my side this week....I found the log stamping hammer yesterday and if that wasn't exciting enough I got home and started looking through my books remembering a few photos of local log butt markings. I didn't find my stamp on the end of any logs, but to my shock I found a photo of what could be my hammer in the hands of a logger taken 100 years ago by a famous local photographer Darius Kinsey. The photo says. "Fir log, nine feet in diameter, on logging trucks at landing."
I'm sure a company had multiple stamp hammers and my stamp may not be the one in the photo, but It's still neat to know this stamp made it's mark on many Grandaddy Fir and cedar. Aside from a couple I.D. tags this is my only find directly related to the company.
The other bucket list find was a men's ring I found it sifting along with the comb. I believe the ring is green celluloid and has no markings. The comb is hard rubber from the "The Butler hard rubber company"
