We occasionally found ink stamped numbers on the bottoms of
Broadmoor pottery and figured they were catalog or form numbers.

Confirmation was found in
this Broadmoor
advertising pamphlet from 1934. It shows pottery associated with
numbers.
Looking for one of our pottery numbers
to match the
number under the same pamphlet pot we got two hits.

For example the pamphlet's
ear handled vase has 138 under it. One of our ear
handled vases
has
the same ink stamped number.
Seven of our numbered pots were not in the
pamphlet. None had numbers that differed from identical pamphlet
pots (no contradictions).
We found ink stamps from both
the Colorado Springs and Denver Broadmoor potteries.
Next issue we will show all 27 pamphlet pottery items and 9 from
our collection.
