- Information about this set is shown in Antique Garden Ornament, by Barbara Israel, pg 173.

19th century companies manufacturing this pattern:
 - JW Fiske Iron Works, NYC (1862-1933). 54w (several unmarked examples in US possibly by Fiske).
- JL Mott Iron Works, NYC (1828-1930s). unknown size.
- Coalbrookdale, England (1709-1922). Patented this “Fern and Blackberry” pattern in 1855. 1888 catalog shows 41”, 57”, 72” wide models offered with cast iron or wood seats.  These sizes are not fitting this set, which is why I am not attributing this to Coalbrookdale.
- John Gray & Co, Uddingston Iron Works, Glasgow, England (1855-1895). produced a version with wood slat seat. 60w.
