This is apparently a name of Swiss origin. An 18 page typescript genealogical record of the Wettstein family of Weiningen-Pfyn, Kt. Thurgau, Switzerland, abt. 1595-1907, was produced in 1907 by Julius Billeter. The Wettstein name is an uncommon one in Canada and no H. Wettsteins were found. The mark is included due to its being found on Canadian silver coins as well as American ones…. (Marked Impressions).
