[BCMA] Bottle identification

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Tammy:  Here is a link to a site which has maker's marks listed that I've found very useful for identification in the past:

http://www.myinsulators.com/glass-factories/bottlemarks.html

There is also a site where you can submit a photo and perhaps have one of the many bottle collectors out there help you with an identification:

If your local library can find it, Julian Toulouse's 1971 reference book Bottle Makers and Their Marks is great.

Cheers and happy identification hunting!
