I have been trying for months to find a good resource to research some Edwin M Knowles items I have. I can only find bits and pieces online. This has been so frustrating. I finally emailed replacements.com but this will take awhile and I don't know how much info if any they will be able to provide. Our local library & bookstores are useless as well. I have spent hours in the research area of the main branch of the library and hit some really big bookstores as well.
I'd like to get some company info and history as well as name of the pattern pieces I have to sell.
Anyone have any clues as to where else I can look? Thanks so much

Kiara, I checked out robins nest last night. It gave me a little info but not enough.
Bestattic, I just tried the link you listed which would have been wonderful to indentify the pattern I have but it doesnt provide me with that info. Darn!

You may have to buy a book then. There is one for sale on ebay showing the dinnerware patterns but it is about $40 to $50 I think.
There is another one called Collectors Encyclopedia of Knowles, Taylor & Knowles China which I have and it has about 9 pages of history and marks. It has colored illustrations and most of the pieces shown are of decorative ones.
This is the table of contents if that helps to understand the book any better.
