I'm looking for information on a maker's mark we found on a bottle base
from a site in south-central Wyoming. The mark appears to be "I co"
with a straight line connecting the top of the "c" and the "o" (the last
two letters are lower case relative to the height of the "I:"). The
"I" (if thats what it is) is quite crude -- not much more than a
straight up-and-down bar with slight flairing at both ends. The base is
aqua-blue in color. There are air bubbles visible in the glass. The
diameter of the base is ca. 3". Manufacture is probably some type of
early machine mold. The rest of the assemblage appears to be mid-1880s
to 1920s.
I can send a low res. scan of the base if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
