Nancy, Now this is a real shot in the dark. There is an antique dealer in Syracuse, NY (Onondaga County) by the name of David Dalton RUDD. I am looking at an advertisement in the New York-Pennsylvania Collector as I write this. The business is named Dalton's American Decorative Arts (specializing in Stickley furniture, American art pottery, period metal work and lighting). His address is: David Dalton Rudd, 1931 James Street, Syracuse, NY 13206 and his e-mail is: www.daltons.com He may or may not be related to the family you're seeking as there were several Rudds in the Onondaga County area. But if he is, he may have information or someone in his family may have something. Here's hoping! Let me know if you're able to contact him. Judy Offen Caledonia, NY
