So you think she's holding a bouquet to cover the purple stains on her hands?

OOHHHH that's cold. 8)

She is kind of cute, and built like a brick #$&% house... :lol:

They even mention the number of teats on animals and why they are necessary, ahh the hogs come home to roost.

I think that is the wrong Hoke. :roll:
Might be useful if any one needs "a Manufacturer of Precision Fluid Control Solutions"
But unless it was started by a distant relative of some description I can not see a direct connection to our beloved patron Ms Hoke.

I do believe the Hoke torch, which was invented by her father for melting Platinum, was what got her involved in the jewelry industry to begin with.

The company in the link may or may not be associated.

I can see a direct connection: same name and a timeline dating back to 1925.

I've got it:
According to this website, it is indeed the same company.

Double-check whether this is the real firm.(in the article no second Hoke inc.in the article)

Thanks! I've added it to the wiki page. Now, if we just could find "Testing Precious Metals with the Touchstone, Jewelers Technical Advice Company, 1932".

Is this what you are looking for?View attachment Hoke Gems Gemology July-Aug_1935.15-32.pdf
It is, actually, Hoke testing with a touchstone. Which was featured in "gems, gemology"

-nevermind, it is actually identical to richards find above.

There was also a pdf entitled "metal finishing" where hoke was one of the authors. It gives a bio of her 40 or 50 pages in.. But, its too large and I cannot upload it. For anyone with interest, search google books for "metal_finishing.pdf hoke" and google books will bring it up.

Truly remarkable woman..

Actually i think it is not: Testing Precious Metals with the Touchstone. C.M.Hoke (Brass World,1932,28,92-93).— Explains the principles of touchstone testing of precious metals and describes the preparation of the aqua regia, precautions to be taken in testing of silver articles.
Page 25 https://goo.gl/XmgrBZ

And actually, this is not my find, it is the one i uploaded!
The top one is the one I did find. https://goo.gl/SBDngd
It starts at pages 15.
So to shorten it I removed the first 14 pages, and did want to remove pages 19 to 32.
Because we had to go to ballroom dancing lessons I was out of time, and not able to delete these last pages.

There was also a pdf entitled "metal finishing" where hoke was one of the authors. It gives a bio of her 40 or 50 pages in.. But, its too large and I cannot upload it. For anyone with interest, search google books for "metal_finishing.pdf hoke" and google books will bring it up.

Sorry I can not find it.
You can uploaded here: https://www.docdroid.net/
If it fails try this: https://goo.gl/mv67av

And a request to a moderator to split/move the tread.
It makes it easier to find stuff. :lol:
