  1. Do you know if American Varnish and Chicago Varnish were the same or different companies. There is little online about either although Chicago Varnish built 33/35 W. Kinzie, now landmarked, and the home of Harry Caray’s restaurant.

  2. I have found a 20 cent coin with tousey varnish company on it. I’m looking for information regarding this coin. Is this the same company as the American varnish company?
