[E-trademarks] What's The Oldest US Registration?

[Laura Geyer]

The oldest one in the UK is the Bass Ale red triangle logo, though the red triangle has been in use much longer than that. There’s a story about how Bass sent a staffer to sit outside the door of the new British trademark office that had just been brought into existence so they could get the first one. They lined up overnight as if for a rock concert. Jan. 1st 1886!

The Bass Brewery was founded in 1777.

Do you mean still in force, or the earliest one (e.g., Registration number "1")?

Someone just asked me, "What's the oldest US registered trademark?"  Rather than providing my answer, I challenge this discussion group to answer that question.  Any guesses?
