HAVemeyer-4-9436, Charles Hoelzer Iron Works
If you look at enough metal doors on New York City sidewalks you will eventually see one of these old medallions from the Charles Hoelzer Iron Works company. I think I've seen about a dozen of these HAVemeyer exchange names around town. This is the only sighting I can recall which uses a 3-letter shorthand for the telephone exchange name. UPDATE, August 2014: Dave Cook, from EatingInTranslation.com, shares his photo of a VIRginia exchange name sighting in Richmond Hill, Queens.

This photo is from DE, who first inspired me to commence this collection of Telephone Exchange Name Sightings. Kulka's Fine Baking in Jamaica, Queens, makes retro-chic use of its old-style AXtell telephone exchange name.
