H. Jackson of New York so perhaps more are found in the USA. This exceptional for not having being cemented to a wall rather it was fitted in to a wooden, perhaps furniture, frame as the rust marks from the nails indicate. Patented in England, presumably as England was the world centre for tile technology it was not considered worthwhile also patenting in the USA. A Maw & Co, grip perhaps not as complex to create as this was patented in both England and USA. There were several lock back patents similar insofar as the locks were in the edge of the tile two of which were by very large scale manufacturers T & R Boote and Henry Richards. None are often found presumably thinning the edge created difficulties in manufacturing and subsequent handling.   Information Tiles For Sale Contacts Order Information
