American E.N.B.&T. Co. New York

I recently found a ceramic covered brick that says "American E.N.B.&T. Co. New York." It is old and has ceramic covering. Our home was built in 1880 so I am wondering how old this is and if it is valuable in any way. I'd like to put it in my garden if it's just a cool brick, but I won't if it has any value.

Bay State Works, Boston, No 1

I have found an old brick on a river bank in MA that reads "Bay State Works, Boston, No 1" and cannot seem to find any information on it on your site. It seems older and to be composed more of a coarser material than the red clay of traditional style bricks. Hence it crumbles to the touch. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Coffeyville??

My friend and are rescuing these decorative bricks from the sidewalk before the city tears them out on Monday. We have found some websites saying that the bricks are from Coffeyville, and some saying that they are Oklahoma bricks. Any clue as to where we'd find out where they are from and how old they are? To see them, go to www.coffeyville.com/history and scroll down. The brick in question is third from the bottom, on the right side.

A.P GREEN STA..?

Hello, I was walking up the north shore of Lake Superior today, and found a light cream colored brick. Unfortunately it is broken in half. But I am still curious about its origin. I have the left side of the brick. There are two lines of text. The first reads "A.P. GRE," which I assume is A.P. Green Fire Brick Co. But what I'm confused about is the second line of text which reads "STA, and then either an N or an M." I couldn't find any A.P. Green factories located in any cites starting with S. Thank you.

Does anybody have any information about "Tonque" bricks purportedly manufactured by A.J. Frank from near Tunque Pueblo in northern New Mexico? Pics would be great too! Thanks!
