ETCHING: BIRD AND CASTLE (AKA) by Buckeye Glass Company/Martins Ferry-Ohio (Company Operated: 1876-1896), c1890 Introduced

NOTE: Sid Lethbridge 2021: Speculated by Buckeye. Bird & Castle etched. Part of a water set that appears in Butler Bros. catalogs of the early 1890s. It is often found with an XZ or Z signature that we now suspect is Xavier Zgraggen. He was the head of the etching department at Buckeye Glass from the late 1880s to 1893.
