Brick yards who were members in good standing could use the CBMA LOGO on their brick molds. Very Rare. The CBMA dissolved as a business assn in the 1880s so this helps to date the production. Very good condition.

    Description

    Great IDEA for a gift for BRICK COLLECTORS.    The Cook Brick Company was in business from the late 19th Century until early 20th century.    The clay deposits along the Massachusetts Coastal plain, from the receding Ice Age Glaciers, were superior for making bricks.    Steel was not in wide spread use in the late 19th century during the industrial revolution.    20 million bricks would be needed along with old growth fir timbers to build a 4 story textile mill for example.
    This brick is rare and if you are a serious collector of antique brick, masonry, or tile, you want this brick in your collection.   I have only one in stock and only one for sale.  Do not delay, if you want it, buy today.
    Often a company will have its name in one form or another such as block letters, a symbol, or script lettering.   This brick was used as advertising in a 440 brick palette .  Not all of the bricks in a palette were named.
    This brick will be carefully wrapped to prevent breakage during shipment.    The brick you will receive will be similar to the one pictured. It will be mailed using USPS FLAT RATE Medium Box.   A BRICKS FIT SAFELY in A USPS FLAT RATE MEDIUM BOX>  A great addition to any collection of TILES, BRICKS, and MASONRY.    Thank you for your interest and consideration.   For more information on the Aldridge Brothers Brick Company, please go to the Internet and look up A B C Brick Company of Dutchess Junction, NY  on the Hudson River and New England Brick Collecting Website.
