Here's a little history on the Buffalo China CO.
Originally the Buffalo pottery company, operations began in 1903. The name 
Buffalo china first appeared in 1915 when it was applied to a new line of 
vitreous china being produced by Buffalo Pottery. Buffalo Pottery and Buffalo 
China names coexisted for many years. It was not until 1956 that the company 
name was changed to the Buffalo China Company and they are still in business. 
Buffalo was a prolific manufacturer of railroad dining car china. You will 
find many Buffalo pieces with dates on the bottom of them, but it is 
generally agreed that these dates refer to when the pattern was either 
designed or copyrighted rather than when any particular piece was 
manufactured.
