The Bottle Research Group is happy to announce the completion of our dating guide for manufacturer's marks on glass containers.

The guide is currently in Adobe (.pdf) format on Bill  Lindsey's Historical Bottle Website:

http://www.sha.org/bottle/makersmarks.htm

The guide provides the best date ranges we can discern for manufacturer's marks, logos used by bottle and jar distributors, and jar brands that clearly denoted specific glass houses in the U.S., Canada, and British firms that sold bottles in the U.S.

Please let me know if you would be interested in this guide in a printed format.  We can do that quite easily through Lulu.com for a modest fee (probably $10 plus shipping).
