==Serious doubts about Jarl being a Stanwell seconds line and my supportive reasoning== | ==Serious doubts about Jarl being a Stanwell seconds line and my supportive reasoning== | ||
First, I'd like to mention that I believe that "Jarl" is the brand name and "Chieftan" | First, I'd like to mention that I believe that "Jarl" is the brand name and "Chieftan" a line made by that brand. I have a handful of Jarls in my collection and not all bear the "Chieftan" nomenclature. While I concur that Jarl is not likely to be a person's actual name I completely disagree that they are Stanwell seconds. I think it is silly to say that this is so simply because they share the combination smooth grain/sandblast type of rustication. That type of rustication is typically Danish and is not a Stanwell trademark. For instance, Kriswell, another Danish name used this same type of rustication. Kriswell was first owned by the brother of Princess Ingrid of Sweden, Queen of Denmark, who was a well known architect and designer and was later bought by Nording in the seventies and at neither point in its history has the name been affiliated in any way with Stanwell. | ||
No, based on my own memory and conversations with other old timers, it is much more likely that Jarl is an old, stand alone company, that went defunct long ago. It probably existed around the time of the original pre-Nording Kriswell designs. Also, it has its own line of seconds under the name "Thayne". I ask myself, why would Stanwell name a line of seconds only to have that seconds line have its own line of seconds? It sounds very unlikely. | No, based on my own memory and conversations with other old timers, it is much more likely that Jarl is an old, stand alone company, that went defunct long ago.
