Beaver Chop Mark, Pepperell Manufacturing, Biddeford, ca. 1880
Item 28929 info
Dyer Library/Saco Museum
One of the original Pepperell chop marks was the "Beaver."
Textiles sold in China often had beaver chops, but to insure that people were buying Pepperell, the company always had seven lines of lettering below the chop.
Pepperell goods could be distinguished by the number of lines of lettering, even from those with a copied chop mark.
