The Bottle Research Group (BRG) has compiled the following tables to aid archaeologists in dating
glass containers using manufacturer’s marks. The tables also include logos used by jobbers (wholesalers), other
types of companies (whose marks could be or have been confused with manufacturer’s marks), and even brand
names on fruit jars that clearly identify the makers. The list and information are as complete as we can make
them using current sources.
Bottle research is dynamic – never static. We discover new logos at least monthly. Furthermore, the
information in these tables is very limited. We recommend always checking other sources – especially our
Encyclopedia of Manufacturer’s Marks on Glass Containers – to get a look at the larger perspective. For
example, the SB&GCo logo was used by the Streator Bottle & Glass Co. from 1881 to 1905, and this
information appears in the S Table. However, the logo was used in six configurations, and each was used
during 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 of
the best information available on soda and beer bottles and their logos
(http://www.sodasandbeers.com/SABBottleManuf.htm). Ron Fowler’s database for Hutchinson soda bottles
also includes manufacturer’s marks (http://www.hutchbook.com/default.html). Ron has cataloged an incredible
17,000+ individual Hutchinson bottles – by far the most comprehensive source in existence. Other sites
abound, 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 have
scanned these logos from the standard sources – especially Toulouse (1971) and Creswick (1987). Occasional
logos have also come from Roller (1983), King (1987), Emhart (1982; 1991), and many other sources, some of
which 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. Logos
from Great Britain and Canada – that are commonly found on bottles in the U.S. – are included in the
alphabetical tables.
As we complete the Encyclopedia, many of the details in these tables will change, and we plan to
periodically update each of them.
