No dates on the
backstamps and I'm not sure but I believe 2 mugs are American Bisque Company (ABCO) known for making cookie jars.  ABCO became American China Company which specialized in making institution dinnerware for airlines.  In 1983 all operations ceased.
Mayer China Company was founded in 1881 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, by Joseph and Ernst Mayer, two brothers whose father had been a potter in England.  In its heyday Mayer China was one of the major producers of restaurant ware.  Their china could be found gracing the table of diners, railroad dining cars, country clubs and some of the finest restaurants and hotels in the United States.
In addition to their restaurant ware, they also produced a retail line.  The factory was purchased by Shenango China in 1964.  The design staff of each division was maintained separately.
It was then taken over by Walker in 1980 and bought by Syracuse in 1984, where china continued to be manufactured until the company moved their production out of the United States in 2009.
