The Guide Book to Collectors has good company histories of about 50 manufacturers with marks but I do not see Grabler listed.

May 24, 2016
Hi All,
I’ve got a porcelain item with the G in box shown by Lehner 1998:584 [Grabler Mfg Co; Cleveland, Ohio). She gives no dates, but searching in google books there are references to court cases circa 1910... Good enough for my purposes at the moment.
HOWEVER, is there a good reference on utilitarian ceramics marks y’all have discovered? My dear old Lehner is nearly a couple decades old now...
Thanks,
S. Walter
