Thanks so much, everyone. It let's me know that the research is worthwhile.

Thanks a ton to both of you for your posts and info on those Canadian marks. (I didn't already know anything about the earlier incarnation--- Richards Glass Co. I was only slightly aware of the more modern marks used by Richards Packaging and did list them along with a picture of the weird "R" mark, and I had been told all of their recent bottles were being made in Taiwan and later China).After Eric wrote to me asking about those marks,(RIGO and R.G.CO.T with diamond) it had been nagging me a little bit, in the back of my mind, if the earlier Richards company had "subcontracted" out their actual glass manufacturing to some unnamed yet well-known glass company(s) in Canada, so this does confirm my suspicions. I will eventually add a bit more info on my website, and list the RIGO and "R.G.CO. T." marks and note they were "actually" made by Dominion. (What does the "T" in the lower right corner signify??).

"T" = "Toronto"

Glen and Eric,Any ideas/guesses on the most likely date range for bottles with the "RIGO" mark? I wrote "1920s or 1930s" on my site but I realized it may be inaccurate (too late?) and will be happy to edit it with more precise info!Thanks, David

The ad was from 1914, maybe 13 and both marks were on it and the company appears to have started in 1912. I'd start there and leave it open ended for now. Glen may have more later.I already did my writeup of your pages in my .doc so I have to go see what you came up with now.I'm glad this worked out for you.
