Please look at other Abingdon black and white horse bookends we have listed. The Abingdon Sanitary Manufacturing Co. was founded in 1908 in the small town of Abingdon, Illinois. During the depression, not much constrution going on, Abingdon cut down production of plumbingware and started its artware division. The named was changed to Abingdon Potteries in 1945. Artware production started in 1934 and was discontinued 1950, when new home construction boomed due to the returning GIs and need for new toilets and sinks were in high demand.
