John D. Lovett Storecards
John Doubleday Lovett produced a very limited variety of his storecards
and putting together a complete set is a bit challenging because of the
scarcity of the silver examples but not an altogether impossible task.
He produced one die used to describe his work ("wedding and visiting
cards" etc.) and combined this with two other dies - the New Congress
Hall die and seal press die with his name and address. The seal press
combination is known in silver, brass, copper, and white metal. The New Congress Hall combination in all but the white metal. SCUST list a
muling of the New Congress Hall die with the seal press die in brass.
