Pretty cool. Always wondered if people collected bricks.

Yes there is ...here is a website...ibcabrick.com

The * is under the W in the word STARWOOD , not where it is in the 1st post..I could not move it over in the edit.

Very cool, I love finding stamped bricks and drag them all home for a soon to be patio

Wow! Brick collectors? I'm in the process of digging in the backyard of my 1790's home and have found at least a dozen bricks that say NEBCo on them...I assumed a brick is a brick, but maybe I should grab them out of the trash pile?

Cool, so 1872-1882. Here's a great old thread about bricks:
