Chainless Gear MFG?

-

Look Ma, No Hands!
Okay, I have a question regarding two chainless bicycle gear manufacturers. That of Brown & Sharp and that of Leland & Faulconer.

Are their gears marked in any way specific, or is there any evident way of telling them apart?

All I know right now is that the Leland & Faulconer gears where machined after hardening, which doesn't help me much at all.

Thanks, Kurt

Reason being it may help in narrowing my search of chainless bicycles, to only one.. i can rule out all but one brand that used the Leland & Faulconer gears. I do not posses a customer list however for the Brown and Sharp gears.

Here is an advertisement from 1900 which I am referencing for the possibilities for the Leland & Faulconer gears, may be that someone here has worked on one of these brands of chainless bicycles;

Grand Rapids Cycle Company<<Clipper People
Geo. N. Pierce Company
E.C. Stearns & Company
Warwick Cycle Company
Sterling Cycle Works
