In your article about West Barnstable Brick Co. you show 2 styles: "West Barnstable Co." and "W.B.B.".
Was there ever a style with only 1 B "W.B."?
Which style is the oldest?
Is there a source that indicates relative value of bricks?
Thank you.
Bill
Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteI am not aware of the West Barnstable yard producing a "W B." The oldest marking is "WEST BARNSTABLE BRICK CO."
As for "value," most collectors just trade bricks and their value is a personal thing. For example, I value (desire) brick from the Hudson River area but have no interest in brick from, say, the midwest.
However, I have seen a "WEST BARNSTABLE BRICK CO" in an antique store on Cape Cod for sale for around $20.
