One book I have used is Bottle Makers and Their Marks, by Julian Harrison Toulouse.
It shows many bottle manufacturing companies marks with years and company history. GREAT book to help pin down a year, etc. on your recently dug treasures. But, it had been out of print for a long time. Copies on ebay would sell between $100 to $200! It has been reprinted. (Paperback; 624 pages) Publisher website: http://www.blackburnpress.com/botmakandthe.html You can also order it from your local bookstore. ISBN:1-930665-34-2 A must have for any collector!
