<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 200548, member: 44&quot;]Hmmmm.... I didn&#039;t notice the INC. Welllll, having INC and the ampersand is a contradiction of info on notable websites about the history of this company.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Both the Glass Bottle site and the Sha.org website say that the ampersand was discontinued in 1901. The Sha.org (Society of Historical Archaeology) on the history of the company says the company was incorporated in 1901 and at the same time the ampersand was discontinued.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;2. The ampersand (&amp;) was used in the mark during the pre-incorporation period from the 1870s to 1901. Bottles following the 1901 incorporation lack the ampersand.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Sooooo, as to dating the glass in this cabinet, I now believe it dates from the earliest 1901 to whenever the company was disbanded or taken over by another company.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a pdf file on the history of WHitall, Tatum &amp; Co. on the notable Sha.org (Society of Historical Archaeology) website.</p><p>Page 3, about the middle of the right/3rd column:</p><p><a href="https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WTandCo_BLockhart.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WTandCo_BLockhart.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/WTandCo_BLockhart.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
