IntroductionGlass Manufacturer’s Logo Tables
Bottle Research Group
The Bottle Research Group (BRG) has compiled the following tables to aid archaeologists in datingglass containers using manufacturer’s marks. The tables also include logos used by jobbers (wholesalers), othertypes of companies (whose marks could be or have been confused with manufacturer’s marks), and even brandnames on fruit jars that clearly identify the makers. The list and information are as complete as we can makethem using current sources.
Bottle research is dynamic – never static. We discover new logos at least monthly. Furthermore, theinformation in these tables is very limited. We recommend always checking other sources – especially ourEncyclopedia of Manufacturer’s Marks on Glass Containers – to get a look at the larger perspective. Forexample, the SB&GCo logo was used by the Streator Bottle & Glass Co. from 1881 to 1905, and thisinformation appears in the S Table. However, the logo was used in six configurations, and each was usedduring a slightly different period. Discussions of the marks found in the Encyclopedia and other BRG articles,reveal nuances of dating that simply cannot be reduced to tables.
There are many other credible sources available. David Whitten’s logo webpage(http://www.glassbottlemarks.com/bottlemarks/) has valuable information, and Tod von Mechow has some ofthe best information available on soda and beer bottles and their logos(http://www.sodasandbeers.com/SABBottleManuf.htm). Ron Fowler’s database for Hutchinson soda bottlesalso includes manufacturer’s marks (http://www.hutchbook.com/default.html). Ron has cataloged an incredible17,000+ individual Hutchinson bottles – by far the most comprehensive source in existence. Other sitesabound, with differing quality.
If the logo were simple (e.g., A.B.Co.), we have merely typed out the initials. In more complex cases(e.g., the AGS monogram used by A.G. Smalley & Co.), we have illustrated the mark. Where possible, we havescanned these logos from the standard sources – especially Toulouse (1971) and Creswick (1987). Occasionallogos have also come from Roller (1983), King (1987), Emhart (1982; 1991), and many other sources, some ofwhich only provided a single logo. Where we could find no drawings, we created new ones.
At the end of this list, we have also included a table for symbols and one for Mexican marks. Logosfrom Great Britain and Canada – that are commonly found on bottles in the U.S. – are included in thealphabetical tables.
As we complete the Encyclopedia, many of the details in these tables will change, and we plan toperiodically update each of them.
