The number at the right shows the day of the month. The letter at the left indicates the month of manufacture and the number at the bottom is a key to the manufacturer. The Roman numeral in the circle at top was used as follows: I for metal objects; II for wood; III for glass; and IV for earthenware. The approximate year of manufacture is indicated by the following letters: X—1868 P—1851 Z—1860 H—1843 D—1852 R—1861 C—1844 Y—1853 0—1862 A—1845 J—1854 G—1863 I—1846 E—1855 N—1864 F—1847 L—1856 W—1865 U—1848 K—1857 Q—1866 S—1849 B—1858 T—1867 V—1850 M—1859 The month is shown as follows: C —January I —July G—February R—August W—March D—September H-April B--October E—May K—November M —June A—December Miscellaneous English Marks (Cont'd) From 1868 to 1883 the numbers and letters were placed differently.
