Special Marks Used For Distributors Such as Lunning, Dellaware, Etc..

Stangl made many items for distributors to resell. In particular they made a large number of items for Frederick Lunning, for Fisher, Bruce (Della-Ware), for Tiffany and for Royal Copehhagen. The also made special order items for a number of other companies such as Tri-Rex Pencils, Wheaton (actually Wheaton owned Stangl at the time), and many others.

		Stangl made a number of items for Frederick Lunning starting in 1942 and continuing until about 1953. The most common mark (excluding seconds which may actually be more common than firsts) is the Lunning Inc. mark in a rectangular box. (This mark was used on all the kiddieware peices and most of the dinnerware items.)
		This mark can be found on some of the dinnerware items. This photo is from a Lunning "fruit" plate.
		This may actually be the most common Lunning mark. Stangl could not sell defective Lunning pieces with the Lunning mark still showing, so they did one of two things. The either "blacked" out the Lunning name (as this photo shows) or they took a small grinder and ground the Lunning name off. Both versions are fairly common.
		Della-Ware was made from the late thirties through the mid to late forties for Fisher,Bruce a Philadelphia distributor . The Della-Ware mark is an artists palette and brush.
		Caughley was an exclusive line made for Tiffany & Company
		This mark is used on a line of childrens dishes made for Royal Copenhagen.(See the kiddieware section.)
