Newcomb College Pottery Registration Date Mark....Unsure of How To Read

[Joeyd]

Hello.... I have a early piece of Newcomb College Pottery with a registration date code of
OA13. Looking at the many references available online, I'm still not certain of how it's read. If anyone could offer an opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello DCMatt....thanks for the reply. I did see those charts but not sure if I'm reading made in 1904 or 1924? I do know the 13 means it was the thirteenth made out of 100 but figuring the OA date is still confusing to me from the charts.

I'm thinking 1924 as OA falls within the range of NR thru OJ. NR, NS, NT, NU... ...OA, OB, OC, OD... OJ.

1924 – NR through OJ

I believe you are absolutely correct, thank you. I did learn that the matt glaze used on mine wasn't developed by Newcomb pottery chemist Paul Cox until 1910 so it has to be later than 1904 as well.
