These lamps are machine-made, blown, and pressed in one operation and advertised as leak proof and the strongest all-glass lamp on the market. Available with shrunk on collars (not removable) or collars attached with plaster or cement (removable). The stands on the lamps are long and de- signed to allow one to carry the lamp safely; whereas, the sewing lamp design is to place the lamp and leave it (Figure 4). Fostoria produced the Stand lamps for at least six years before they started to make their Gone With The Wind Lamps for which the company is so well known. Fostoria manufactured several lines of Stand lamps while in Ohio and for years continued many of these same lines in Moundsville. Some of the early tableware lines have Stand lamps: Cascade, Virginia, Valencia, to name a few. These Stand lamps are not the same as the Vase lamps also made in some tableware lines. When not part of a tableware line the lamps have their own line numbers: No. 153, No. 154, 181, 191, and 250, again, to name a few. Many of the patterns for these lamps are generally very basic, more utilitarian than for appearance.

    Glass Factories On Postcards By Portland’s Rain of Glass Members Carole Bess White and Dennis Headrick 1920s view showing Heisey’s neon sign high above the Atlantic City Boardwalk near the Steeplechase Pier. From the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century there were more than 500 glass factories in the United States. Most of them made utility and industrial glass only, such as laboratory vessels, bottles, window glass, light fixtures, etc., but several produced an amazingly diverse and creative amount of glass for the table, kitchen and vanity. Here is a chart showing the approximate eras of American glass manufacturing: 1827 1850-1920 1879-1930 1882-1915 First American pressed Early American Louis Comfort Tiffany American Brilliant tumbler produced by Pattern Glass Glass Era Cut Glass the Boston & Sandwich Era (Art Glass production Era Co., Boston (Called Lacy or EAPG) c1900-1930) 1885-1900 1885-1910 1900-1930 1908-1920 Victorian Art Glass Opalescent Glass Art Glass Carnival Glass Era & Custard Glass Era Era (Amberina, Burmese, Era (Art Nouveau Style—Tiffany, (Only factory overstock was Cranberry, etc.) Steuben, etc.) later used as carnival prizes) 1 1916-1930 1922-1944 1925-1955 Stretch Glass Depression Glass Era Elegant Glass Era Era (Mainly machine-made, (Mainly handmade colored colored glassware) & crystal glassware) ELEGANT GLASS is the better quality glassware made in America from 1925 to 1955.

It eventually fell prey to the relentless march of progress in the form of sophisticated cutting machines and the revolu- tionary 'float process' (a production method which facilitated automated flat glass cutting). The proud, talented Cutter found out he too was mere mortal." With this lament, Albert Noe, Jr., shipped the records of the defunct Window Glass Cutters League of America (WGCLA) to the West Virginia and Regional History Collection in the fall of 1984. Encom- passing more than 200 boxes, 30 volumes and 10 reels of microfilm, the nearly complete files of the WGCLA detail the union activities of one of America's most vibrant craft unions from its inception in 1876 to its dissolution nearly a century later. Happily, for those interested in the rise and decline of the window glass industry and its workers, this rich resource is now open to research. It is fitting that the Regional History Collection is providing While technological advances eliminated the need for most glass industry crafts- a home for the WGCLA's records, for the history of the men around the turn of the twentieth century, the window glass cutter's skill re- window glass industry is inextricably linked to West Virginia.
