L.F.B. WKS LOUISVILLE

L.F.B. WKS stands for Louisville Fire Brick Works. To find this brick on Derby Day was cool for the old man.

    My husband was cleaning a fence row and saw this brick on the ground. He brought it home and asked me to get on line and find out who LFB WKS was,thinking it was the name of a person.We will clean it up and keep it with the rest of our antique collection.

    I also recently found a few LFB WKS DERBY bricks in my yard in a small town in Ohio called Harrisburg. They look very old. My first assumption was that they came from a small nearby village called Derby, but decided to go online and i found this blog. Louisville Fire Works still exists, so I am going to write them and see what i can find out.

    I found a LFB WKS Louisville brick today on an abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad Branch in Westmoreland County, PA today. I also found a STAR brick and two SWANK brinks. The grade for the railroad branch was built entirely of slag, cinders and other steel mill waste.

    Just came across some bricks with "LFB WKS No A" near Franklin, TN. The property is adjacent to Little East Fork in an area that was heavily logged and had mills near/along the creek of BEF.
