Great hand made tile advertising Renasissance Tile Manufacture. Scroll work and letters are molded in relief - green majolica glaze, white clay - measures 7" x 1 5/8".

Robert Treat Commemorative Tile by Mosaic Tile Company
Captain Robert Treat was the Governor of Connecticut, and is considered to be the founder of the city of Newark, New Jersey.

This hexagonal tile measures 3 1/2" from point to point, and a profile of the Captain is done in high relief on the tile's surface. The back is dated and heavily marked! This tile was also part of Mr. Sigafoose's tile collection. There is one minor shallow chip on the back - the tile is in generally excellent condition. (#T-1183)

Rare Antique Advertising Tile for Steam Engine
The company, Ritchie & Dyer, was formed in 1879 in Hamilton, Ohio. They were manufacturers of saw mills and traction road engines (aka the steam traction engine). This small and wonderfully crafted tile was made by the Hamilton Tile Works for Ritchie & Dyer - both of Hamilton, Ohio, around 1880.
Done in a goldish green majolica glaze, the horse and rider have nice molded relief. The words " Ironhorse Road Engine " are above the rider, while the words " Ritchie & Dyer Hamilton O " are underneath the horse. This measures 3" square and is in pristine condition. This is an important piece of tile and industrial age history. (BxStove050)
