Boston is easy-this is a Baker but lots of makers used 2 Iron 'Boston.' Remington used it on the 1894 A grade. For my own pea brain catagorization, I call this 'Fine leaf large scroll symmetric annular 2 iron crolle.'
'Horse-shoe' would be 'Coarse leaf large scroll asymmetric crolle.'



"economic compound coiling process" is no doubt a trade name for 'machine made' damascus. Not a clue (yet) as to Pointille but the "English Damascus Rosetta Stone" is out there in some little Midlands industrial museum
