Dating cue
This printed mark dates from 1912; 1750 on some variants is not the founding date of Booths Ltd.
Notes
printed mark + Typical mark with or without "England" or "Made in England" underneath the mark. Often with "1750" divided either side of the mark. The date of 1750 is not that of Booths Ltd who started operation in 1891. The earliest date of Thomas Booth & Co. was at the Knowels Works in Burslem. The 1750 either refers to a distant relation or to the date that a potworks that Booths used was first established.
