Any body make out this word?

[buck57]

Still working the old 1870 house where we pulled out alot of iron. This one here has the word Pat's March on it and looking on google shows a old flat iron maker but can not locate this particlular handle. On the back side it has another word which I can not make out all the way. Any body have any ideas or, has a picture of this handle attached to some thing? Also, on the front, the last line, is that a date?? All guess welcome. Good hunting all.

:thinkingabout: My guess is it says SHUBES PAT'D MARCH 1919
I Googled it but I didn't come up with much :dontknow:
We'll see what the rest of the members think it says :->

Thanks Lee and Ill Digger. I thought that was a date on that thing but wasn't quiet sure. I would love to find a picture of what the handle was attached to. HH all.

Thanks Tony. I've been tring every combo possible and still haven't found it. But I have been finding pic's of some old glass butter churn handles that looks close.

Thanks for the info Lee. We'll have to give that a try.
