maritime query
Dear List,
I am looking for a repository which may hold marine trade catalogs or
business records to help interpret a newly-arrived artifact. It's a
mechanical ship's log (not the book, but a device which measures speed,
distance, etc.) The little brass plaque reads, "Nicholson Ship Log
Co./Cleveland, Ohio/U.S. Patent 1903."
A 1920 marine directory lists "Nicholson Ship Log & Realty (!) Co., Inc.,
409 Superior St, N.W., Cleveland, Ohio."
Any leads from our mid-west friends would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Michael
