However, you can find much information, scattered as it may be, if you look hard enough. There are web sites for the International Brick Collectors Association based in Kansas City or try the Haverstraw (NY) Brick Museum web site (google them). These sites will have links to other sites. There are several good books - search Amazon.com. Finally, you can check with your State or local Historical Society. Some States have "State Geologist's Annual Report" where they list brickyards of the time. My local Historical Society in Wayne NJ has an excellent publication they put out on the old brickmaking industrie that existed in Wayne from the 1850's to the 1950's. Brickyards in Wayne were famous for making and supplying bricks to the old silk mills in Paterson NJ, shipped via the Morris Canal. The Hudson Valley area in NY state is extremely rich in local brickmaking tradition supplying the City of New York by shipping down the Hudson River.

It seems to be an area I couldn't find much info on. My grandpa has some bricks that he’s been looking to ID for a few years now - do you know of any directories for all known bricks?
