- Coalbrookdale, England (1709-1929). Patented this “Fern and Blackberry” pattern in 1855. 1888 catalog shows 41”, 57”, 72” wide models offered with cast iron or wood slats. These sizes not fitting this set, which is why I am not attributing this to Coalbrookdale. I have not confirmed width of Fiske and Mott versions (I would appreciate anyone to update me if those sizes are posted in any original catalogs).
- John Gray & Co, Uddingston Iron Works, Glasgow, England (1855-1895). produced a version with wood slat seat. 60w, 36t or 59w, 35.5t.
