Wheeling, West Virginia Merchants

The following is a list of Wheeling, West Virginia merchants as they are remembered from stencils on the stoneware that they ordered from potteries in Southwest, Pennsylvania during the period of approximately 1865-1890. I have had this list in my possession for at least 25 years and have no recollection of its origin. It has been very helpful in deciphering the names on stoneware when they were slightly smudged or overglazed. I have retyped the list in alphabetical order for your convenience.

Hopefully, the list will be a useful resource for my customers and the stoneware community in general. Dr. Duane F. Watson, docscrocks.com January 16, 2022
