J. Hoare & Company

The Patented Patterns (1871-1891)

The following compilation is largely based on the J. Stanley Brothers, Jr. volumes of patent material at the Rakow Library of the Corning Museum of Glass and the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office's Web site where the reader can find complete patent applications, including specifications and (usually) drawings, the latter of best-available quality. Revi's early work (1965, pp. 167-171) has also been helpful.

No patents were assigned to the Hoare company; all were retained by their patentees (*).
