Acets of Ostoria acets of ostoria Official Publication of FOSTORIA GLASS SOCIETY OF AMERICA Inc. To acquire and disseminate detailed knowledge concerning Fostoria Glassware A 501(c)3 non-profit organization © 2016 All Rights Reserved Price $ 5.00 Volume 37 No. 5 March / April 2016 Fostoria’s First Lamps All-Glass Stand Lamps By Gary Schneider Practically from the day Fostoria opened their factory, they produced all-glass Stand and Finger lamps. 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. Typically, the font and the stand do not have a decoration. Sometimes the chimneys will have a two-color band decoration and the lamps flashed with a solid color, usually green or red, or with alternating 2-color green, gold, or red aniline stain (the darkened areas in Figure 2). Late 1890, the Stand lamps took on designs that are more attractive (Figures 3 and 4). Perhaps this gave those who could not afford the elegant GWTW lamps a stylish lamp to be proud of dis- playing. A fully decorated “D” lamp as shown in Figure 2 cost twenty-four cents in 1900 or $7.07 today. Sometimes you can find these old lamps for $10-15 today, which is almost equivalent to 1900 prices!

Tickets are $5.00 each or five tickets for $20. Send a check providing name and phone number (use mailing labels) for each ticket purchased. FGSA PO Box 826 Moundsville, West Virginia 26041 Antique Scrolled Acanthus Fostoria Antique GWTW with Francis Base Kerosene Oil Parlor Banquet Table Lamp Lamp Fostoria Glass Glows (electrified) 26” high 3 Figure 2 Dealers offered the lamps with or without burner and chimney as shown in Figure 2. “No Trimmings” means without the burner and chimney. The collar determines the burner size, which regulates the brightness, and the font size controls the amount of kerosene held. The No. 1 burner would be roughly equivalent to a 25-40 watt bulb and the No. 2 burner a 40-60 watt bulb. The brightness would be near the lamp, and not like todays light bulbs lighting of the whole room. It was extremely important to use the correct burner size as explosion of the chimney and the resulting fire was very common. In the early advertisements, several chimney manufacturers listed their chimney as “explosion proof.” Many an unhappy lamp owner found out this was just a sales pitch! All Fostoria Stand lamp lines commonly have eight height sizes and two burner sizes (No. 1 and No. 2). In the early years, the lamps came as size A- E, and then changed to the industry standard of A-D, and O. Each Line had a Finger lamp that came in two styles, footed, and flat and some Lines also have a Sewing lamp. Figure 3 4 The standard height sizes for all Fostoria Stand lamps, not including chimney or burner, are D 11″, C 10¼″, B 9¼″, A 9½″, O 8½″ Finger Footed 6½″, Finger Flat Various, Sewing 9″ Figure 4 The lamps shown in Figures 3 and 4 are the Line 734 Acme Lamp. As indicated in the price lists, the Acme lamp is a “Medium Quality Line.” Fostoria produced this line from mid–1890 to about 1915. Fostoria Line 676 Priscilla Ware, which came out in 1899, later than Acme, has considerable pattern design similarities to the Acme lamps. Although produced in Crystal and in Opal glass, it is likely the collector can find the Acme lamp, like Priscilla Ware, in Green glass. The chimney on the Sewing Lamp in Figure 3 is both frosted and etched. 2016 Auction 2016 Glass Show Update The 2016 auction currently has 15 consignors so we are The Show Vice Chairman (Rick Wright) and I are looking for at least 3 to 5 more, the amount consigned getting ready for another record setting number of determines if we take on any more.

  • Glass Factories on Postcards by Portland’S Rain of Glass Members Carole Bess White and Dennis Headrick
    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 was hand pressed, hand molded or hand blown, and after the shaping was done, it was returned to a smaller kiln called the “glory hole” for fire polishing to a high gloss.

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.
