Topic: Ebay listing "I.L.T." Question?

I have one of these and always wondered:
Manufacturer/Maker
Age
I.L.T meaning (except mine looks more like F.N.T)

I think Lustrousstone might be able to help. She collects this sort of weight sometimes - I think the letters are probably somebody's initials. They turn up with names on them, executed in this manner.
Possibly Pilkington or Beranek, but wait and see what Christine says.

Is that an annealing crack I'm seeing in the first image?

Looks more like a shadow and reflection to me.

Early US Midwestern weight. As I recall FLT in those links is the logo for the Odd Fellows Lodge. I think it stood for Friendship, Love and Trust. Google Odd Fellows Lodge and see if I've got it correct. BTW: I didn't see any millefiore canes in that weight, just a lot of "end of day" stuff picked up off the marver.  These were made in the early 1900's in many of the Midwestern factories in Weswt Virginia, Indiana and Ohio.

Thank you,
That is very interesting.
