Re: Patent Brenneke Drilling - Engraving

Fuhrmann & 93mouse,

I did some extensive searching on the Internet over the last couple of days trying to see what I could find on the origins of the subject engraving pattern.

Update: A woman (last name Morocart) who just happens to run a Moroccan "architectural details" shop in Florida with her husband sent me the attached photo of a pattern that they carry in response to some pictures that I had sent to them. She said the picture that she gave me is of a very common Islamic pattern seen all over the Middle East.

Having the eight pointed star at the intersection of each link makes the pattern a little fancier but in general it appears very similar to what is on the Brenneke.

At this point I think we have a pretty good idea of the region of origin for the engraving pattern. Which came first with regard to influence, either Mediterranean or Middle East, is something I'm not going to worry about.

Regards,

Mark
