W.C. DAVIS / CIN. O on an 1830 Capped Bust dime. Brunk D-167, Oh-226. Host coin Very Good.This is the stamp of William C. Davis of W.C. DAVIS & Co., who were stove dealers located at Main & 9th in Cincinnati, OH, in business from about 1850 to the 1880s. In the 1850 city directory they are listed as "founders & dealers in iron, nails, stoves and hollow ware". Later in the 1870s they were located at 154 E. Front St. and advertised as "Manufacturers of stoves and hollow ware". Williams store was called the "Favorite Stove Works" and from there he distributed a trade catalog of different stoves. Brunk & Rulau only report two coins with this stamp, an 1850 large cent and an 1850 half dime, so this is a previously unreported example.From the Steve Tompkins Collection.
