I agree with Mark's conclusion, which [by the lack of any positive evidence] is supported by some of our "good books" which list cl makers over the years, Rendall is the best example I have without more "research". As Dave Spieg. has reported many times, to answer [as best we can] about the many Malerne "stencil names" he and I and others have encountered, there was a flood of these instruments imported into US in the mid 1900s, some excellent, fair and poor, usually bearing good-sounding French names, they were the best makers [along with some Germans] at that time. . Wasn't Cartier an early French explorer of our new world? , YES, Jacques, the St. Lawrence River etc 1530's - '40s, per my Enc. Brit. Our local music store has/had [?} a J C, with impressive logo-ing, a blue case, may get/buy it to restore, it appears similar to the Malernes and Martin-Freres I've seen, worked on. With no evidence, didn't a Fr-man say "do what is probable" and thereby started a new type of mathematics ??? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
