I am so sorry that I asked this question in the wrong link the first time, and I guess I got deleted. I am new to this site and stupid me didn't notice the correct site for identifying marks until after I had posted it in the wrong one first. I am sure you are tired of us messing things up and I am sorry to have caused you such a hassle. Please let me try this again, since I am new to the internet thing and I am learning as I go, so unfortunately I make mistakes as I go too. I am trying to learn about identifying antiques and finding it extremly hard. But sites like this are simply wonderful and are very helpful for us new learners. To have access to all of you out there that have so much knowledge and experience to share with us is just great!
What I am trying to find out is the maker of the marks "USA". I bought an ash tray and matching dish with a lid at a garage sale last weekend. They are a light aqua blue with gold speckled paint in them. On the bottom is engraved USA 1040B and USA 1040C on the dish and lid and I think it is an USA 1040E on the ash tray. I have looked in the books I have and on several sites, but haven't found anything that has just the USA mark. I know McCoy marks with USA but don't they always have they're other trademarks with it? Anyone with any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to learn this business about identifying antques, and finding it extremly hard, but sites like this are sure great!
Thanks- Pam from Kansas
