Horseshoe and star logo............This motif is seen on the base of jelly glasses & tumblers, the majority of which were probably made from c.1900-1930. (Sometimes the star is not present). Glass manufacturers who reportedly produced items with this type of design on the base include: Indiana Tumbler & Goblet Company, Greentown, IN (1894-1903); Ball Bros. Glass Company, Muncie, IN (1888-1992); Fostoria Glass Company, Fostoria, OH (1887-1891) & Moundsville, WV (1891-1986); Monongah Glass Company, Fairmont, WV (1903-c.1929); and Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, Washington, PA, Wheeling, WV and other plant locations (1902-1964). See "Ball", "Atlas" and "H over A" marks.

quick question, how come that so many makers adopted this mark? normally wouldnt they use thier own mark? i can understand when a company gets bought and changes thier name, and keeps the same design. but why so many?
p.s. im off for some bottles right now, wish me some luck
