I have found a number of references to aluminoid, to where I can get exact dates. One in reference to pots and pans for industrial use 1898 and one for use on replaceable nibs on fountain pens, 1915 (that magazine was dubbed culturally significant and reproductions were made and is available on Amazon!!). The cookware looks like it's unfinished aluminum and the fountain pens look like they have had brass plating put on them. I have found other references to brass plating aluminum to ensure that they remain rust proof.
And steam engines and light machinery!
Thought this might be interesting! Looks like aluminoid was around for quite a number of years.
I'm only recently trying to make an attempt to identify these but I have noticed that when it's MCF, I go WOW! When it is Akro, I go "Hey, that's really nice!!" With this one I'm saying, "Hey, that's really nice!!"
Agree Alley #1 but don't see the 4 tips needed these days for Flame.
#2. Is that translucent? Maybe Akro Patch.
#3 Those seams are very interesting. Need sharper photo. Looking handmade.
I actually got to Akro hand gathered slag on my own, so I'm pleased. And because I like the white, it must be a character flaw in me, too! Ah, just throw it on the pile...
