This counterstamp has never been adequately explained. One theory recommends Jeremiah C. Tilton of Sanbornton Bridge, New Hampshire as a possible issuer. He was granted at least three patents for weaving, loom, and flocking equipment. The X symbol on a lined field may relate to weaving or loom-related equipment. The Tiltons sold their business at the start of the Civil War. J.C. Tilton returned to be one of the founding fathers of Tilton, New Hampshire.
