INDIANA STATE MUSEUM HEEREN BROS COLUMBIA SHIELD

David Buchanan, Curator, Decorative Objects and Furniture, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites writes:

I'm very appreciative in reading the information in your web-publication as to the Columbian Shield created by the Heeren Brothers.

We have one in our collection, one which has been hanging in our storage for years with almost zero information in its record. We don't even know when it came in to the collection. But it is also the type of object where we wouldn't be surprised if a newspaper article surfaces with its Indiana related information, something which has happened a number of times in the past. Now at least, thanks to you and your readers, I can put in the manufacturing history even if I don't have the specific Indiana story.

I've no idea if it might be possible to get a notification if any more of these surface or any more information is found but if so, I'd love to learn of it.

Thanks for letting us know about your shield. By publishing it here we can let other researchers know of its existence, and it will remind me if other information turns up. -Editor
