We hit a small park in Baltimore County, Nottingham Park.
It was evident that deep good-sounding targets were often debris from demolished household items.
I dug this NORGE nameplate. Original background was white enamel over the copper plate; letters are raised and filled in with black enamel. Some of the enamel was popped off as the piece was bulldozed and curled a bit.
Norge was a line of appliances dating from the 20th century.
Back in the day when smaller storefront locations sold this line I found these images from Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
And the product line was part of the repairman parody on SNL by Dan Ackroyd
The reverse of this nameplate bears the makers mark "Fox Company, Cincinnati, O., USA".
Gustave Fox started his own business in the latter half of the 19th century but in the jewelry line. As the company grew and expanded its operations over the years it became known as the Fox Company.
