Corinthian by Mount Vernon

There are several patterns named Corinthian. This is Mount Vernon's version. I found conflicting introduction dates for this pattern of 1891 and 1902. The design has flourishes of leaves at the top of the stem and the top of the terminal.

Wellington by Alvin

Not to be confused with Durgin's pattern by the same name, Alvin introduced their Wellington pattern in 1897. This pattern is more ornate than that of Durgin's.
