I used to have a list of glass maker marks, but I can't find it.

Anyway, I have a pitcher and tumblers set that is marked with a W in a circle with a line under the W.

Is that the Wheaton glass Mark?

Thanks

W in a circle..........T. C. Wheaton Glass Company, Millville, NJ (1888-to date). This mark is seen on laboratory, chemical & drug bottles, and has been in use since 1946.

That's why I thought it was Wheaton at first, but wheaton doesn't have the line under the W.


Here's a picture of the mark by L. G. Wright.  He was somehow involved with Fenton Glass. When the picture from the link comes up it's a picture of a tumbler, and right under the tumbler is the word image, click there to see the mark.
