Brick Collection

Below is a photographic record of my collection of bricks, mostly from the Hudson Valley Area. I am a member of the International Brick Collectors Association (IBCA) (Member #1518), which is a group for people who collect bricks that are marked, stamped, or otherwise branded, often to indicate the company or person that made them. Several times a year, the IBCA holds brick swaps at various locations around the country. They are a wonderful group of people and I highly recommend you joining the group if you have any interest in this hobby.

My collection is constantly growing. I do not have a goal--I just collect those that I find or are given to me. A great website about many of the bricks I have, can be found here. It is where I have received most of the information below about the bricks. If you have more information about the ones I have, please share!

**Some of my information is incorrect and I have not had a chance to update my website. I highly recommend if you want further information about any brick that you have, you contact the members of the International Brick Collectors Association, specifically Jim Graves (brickcollector @ gmail.com) who has done a ton of research on USA brick manufacturers. If you are on Facebook, you can contact the knowledgeable members on their group page.**

NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES

Source of brick and manufacturer information: This website: For a limited time, the New York Central Railroad Company had a line of bricks with their logo produced. Information is scarce concerning the dates of these bricks and where they were made. The railroad's use of the bricks is also unknown. Collectors believe these bricks were made around Conneaut or Ashtabula, since this is where the majority are found.

The number indicates the level of hardness of the brick. There are three types of fireclay for making firebrick: No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. The No. 1 firebrick was the least expensive one to purchase, but also had the lowest rating for heat exposure. Once you go above a No. 3 fireclay, you enter the world of refractories, where companies manufacture specialty bricks for lining fireboxes, steel furnaces, etc.

Wood Brick

This brick was given to me with the following information:

A lot of streets were paved with cobblestones at the time. The problem with cobble stones is that when they were wet, they were slippery, and the horses could not travel well on top of them. The streets were often wet and muddy back then because there was no levee system, so when the river rose, it flooded the streets. With wet, treacherous streets, wagons could not be brought to the ships to load or unload.

A solution was created: Wood bricks. The bricks were placed so that the tree rings were face up. The rings are stronger than the pulp between the rings, so as the brick is used and ages, the pulp erodes away but the rings stay, sticking up out of the surface. This creates ridges that increase traction over the bricks. The rings also acted as ways for the horses to scrape off the mud from their feet. When the river rose again, it would help to wash out the mud from the bricks.

The wood bricks were installed in the following way: Thick boards were laid down on the road and then tarred. The boards and bricks may have been soaked in creosote to preserve them. Tar was put on the bricks, and the bricks were then laid down in a pattern on the boards.
