Rain stopped so went back out for a few. Digging a signal and out popped this. Did some research. The Diana brick and tile company was operative from 1902 to 1912 in Texas and New Orleans. Not 100 percent sure that this one is related but I’m not to far from New Orleans. Really don’t know what to do with it either lol IMG_0132.webp

Congratulations, you've got a start on a new hobby...brick collecting. Old bricks are highly sought after. I've got over 60 different ones in my collection.
 

Awesome find! I’m in Texas, and they tore down a big historical home. I’m a brick collector and have hundreds in my collection. Digging around in the much that evening, and out came this Diana brick, along with some cool thick hexagonal tiles and mesquite bricks. Was super excited 😊

Thank you for the reply!

Same here. I've collected a good number over the years while working the job. Names like "Pluto", "Snowball", "Sterling" & perhaps 50 more names. When you have only a couple or so, people wonder why?, but when you have many, kind of cool. Scrubbed them, painted the lettering with white enamel paint using a toothpick, coated them, and stacked them in places in the back yard. I like them.
 

Nice find! Congratulations, and nice display. Thanks for sharing.
