Additionally, this does *LOOK* later than 1844 to me. I think it may have belonged to some sort of transportation or utility or something like that.

AT&T stands for "American Telephone and Telegraph", and it seems to me I have heard of a CPT, or "Central Pole and Telegraph" I also located a CPT foundry a county away from me that did soem work during world war 2. I think I may be along the right lines with one of the. Off to do some more research.

Thanks for the help everyone!

I think you are on the right research path! Keep trying....
The *LOOK* I would think comes from the letters and numbers, they change after time. To make sure look up some lettering in the 19th century and compare to the 20th...
