Gurcke doesn't list Mary's STEWART brick in his book, but...he may know
about it. While there were 2 companies with the name of Stewart (in
Prince Edward Is. and in WV)...no other info is available online. :o(
So...does anyone know about a yellowish chunky concrete (?) 'block'
(doesn't look like a refractory brick) impressed (incused) with a round
symbol (can't make it out) next to 'JUNIOR' ?? It measures 2 1/2"
thick, 6 3/4" wide...but don't know the full length since both examples
we have are broken...but, they would have been >8" long.
Found in San Diego (Golden Hill area).
