LANE & CO

Lane & Co was owned by Jack S. Lane. Most of the rest of what I know about Lane is what I read in Mike Schneider's California Pottery book, the info on the tvlamps.net site and a Lane & Co packing box photo shown above. Lane & Co. was located in Los Angeles in 1952. It moved to Van Nuys by 1959. It went by the name of Sunkist Creations for a while in the early 1960's then reverted to the original name by 1965 at which time its street address was 14660 Arminta St., Van Nuys, Calif. I have never seen a cookie jar marked "Sunkist Creations" or see a label with this name. According to Lane's grandson, Richard Carroll, he sold the company in 1963. It is thought that in it's final years, it turned into "Lane Ceramics". This is supported by a Siamese Cat TV lamp that is marked "Lane & Co" in the clay with a lamp socket with a UL label that reads "Lane Ceramics, a Div of CONDECOR".
