R. F. KILLALY/HARDWARE/CANNINGTON. - The mark is within a circle on obv. of an 1855 U.S. quarter dollar (Brunk K-166 lists four marks on U.S. dimes; no quarter dollar is listed). According to Brunk's communicant, Hank Theole, Killaly was located in directories from 1875 to 1882. The Bradstreet Report for 1889 also lists the merchant in Port Hope, but a check of a 1900-1901 directory does not list Killaly. The mark appears to be one that was perhaps used to stamp hardware products.

Note this lot is part of the Richard Cooper Collection.
