I found my second perfin looking through my accumulation today. I think it is "BMC" or "BMO"...Any information would be appreciated...what company was it for, any collector value at all, what is THE guide for perfins? Thanks for the great answers I know I'll get.

It looks like a BMC, PAttern B-162, Bailey Meter Company, Cleveland, OH. Common item (rating E).

The Perfins Club makes the ONLY definitive US catalog on the market. It is a big (2 1/2) inch think) catalog. It can be purchased from the Perfins Club. It is not inexpensive however, although a great deal cheaper than the foreign catalogs. It can be found and ordered via : http://www.perfins.org/publications-for-sale/

Enjoy.

In case you were wondering about Bailey Meters of Cleveland, here's a period ad from their firm -- note they had offices in Canada and England, as well:



They are still around today, though not in Cleveland anymore:
