I think that I've got this written down somewhere, but I'm trusting that my memory of the mark is better than my memory of where I've stored the information. I believe that the Blue Ribbon Brand was made at the Macomb Stoneware Company in Macomb, Illinois. There was also the Macomb Pottery Company, which had two plants in Macomb. All of these became part of Western Stoneware Company in 1906. The name of the city ought to be included on the logo, if I recall. I think that there was a photo sent in a while back; check the archives.
