You’d get a better response if you posted a pic, especially of the stamp. Just sayin’.

Hubbard & Matthews; 1854-58; scythes.
Burgess and Atwood had begun a mill which was purchased
and finished in 1854 by John U Hubbard, Andrew J Hubbard,
and John Matthews. They operated as Hubbard and Matthews,
making scythes here until 1857, when Dunn purchased the mill
and moved it south to where Dunn had his major holdings
