Hello Lustrousstone,
Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation was created in 1937 by the merger of Anchor Cap and Closure Corporation and the Hocking Glass Company.
While I do know that Anchor Cap and Closure Corporation used the anchor mark (no H) before then, I don't recall ever hearing of a stand-alone (H) Hocking Glass Company mark. Do you have a reference for such a mark? I collect glass marks, so I would definitely be interested.
One other possibility is Hazel Atlas, which is a large H over a small A. Sometimes people think that one is an Anchor Hocking mark.
The mark that the Lorrie is asking about may just be an Anchor Hocking mark that didn't transfer well on to the item, but only a picture of the item can speak for itself. --- Mike

Hi Lorrie, GlassGallery is telling you where the problem is - your images are too big.
There are two size limits - one is the 200kb max file size limit, the other is that an image's dimensions must be no bigger than 1000 pixels x 1000 pixels. Anything larger than either of these sizes will fail as you are finding.
Read the Help file link at the top of GlassGallery in BLUE for more info, but if you still get stuck feel free to ask for help... use the Contact Us form on the Help pages to do this.

Hello again Lorrie,
It is very hard to see the mark on your piece, but I tried enlarging your photo and then cropping out the area with the mark.

It looks more like an M or a W than an H to me, but the photo isn't great. I have seen a couple items in this pattern on ebay recently that were said to be Westmoreland's "English Hobnail" pattern, but I have never seen any Westmoreland items with that ladder like section in the pattern. They did do a somewhat similar looking puff box,

but it is still very different than your version.
Do you have a flat-bed scanner connected to your computer? If so could you just set the bottom of your piece on the glass and just scan it. You should be able to get a good sharp and close picture of the mark that way, rather than try and get your camera up close to it. --- Mike
