Hi, I found this bottle with a B in a circle and and 8 on the bottom of the bottle. I think it may be a Brockway, but I need help with the year and what is was used for. Thanks.
B in a circle: Brockway Glass Company “B in a circle” mark on bottles: Brockway Glass Company, Brockway, Pennsylvania (1907-1988)
This mark was adopted by Brockway Glass Company in 1925 and used on tremendous numbers of bottles, up until circa 1988.
The “B in a circle” mark is usually seen on the base, and seems to have been placed in the center of the base on most earlier bottles (I don’t have a timeline to indicate HOW early), but by the late 1970s, if not earlier, the “B” was typically placed near the top, as in the 12:00 position on a clock (See pics below of late 1970s-early 1980s bottles). However, keep in mind that this typical placement of the mark is not 100% consistent, and some bottles made by Brockway might not conform to this general rule (Glass Bottle Marks 2017).
