ANCIENT CRYSTAL MAKERS LIST

[Brian Carling]

In working through some of the many crystals I have come across
I see many names. Some old, some new. Quite a few that I had
never seen before. I woiuld bet some BA enthuusiasts know a little
untold history about these comopanies that ought to be preserved.
I think it would make an intersting article for Electric Radio.

ANCIENT CRYSTAL MAKERS LIST

I am amazed to find out HOW MANY companies have put their
names on crystals over the years. Do you know of more?

These names will likely be lost to obscurity in a few years
if we do not somehow memorialize them here or in our publications.
I count over 75 companies so far, although I suspect some were
duplicate outfits operating under different names.
