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. I have not yet been able to go to one, but I did have the opportunity to meet some of the members prior to a swap in my area. 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!
