Yearbook, 1906 German Brown Coal and Hard Coal Industries
Coal briquettes were very popular in Europe, especially in Germany where brown coal (lignite), bituminous or higher ranks of coal dust could be compressed with clay, tar or pitch binders into a useable slow burning fuel, ideal for stoves. Manchester Collieries made them from around 1929 to 1946, 'MC' stamped on them, no I don't have one.
