Re: [Thames_Barges] Re: Looking for info on Alfred Danikel andSon barge

Mike, I'm working from a wood plaque I'm restoring
that had hand lettering, and a "relief" model of the
ship. Perhaps the creator made some type of mistake or
I simply can't get all the letters or are
mis-identifying some. In any event, thanks for our
thoughts and time. Dave Schwain

Dave, I don't think that the lettering is likely to be a barge name. It would not warrant having a special place on a business sign unless a particular barge...
