Co-operative Flint Glass Co. 1879-1934

Description: The Co-operative Flint Glass Co. of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, 1879-1934. This is an original work published in association with the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia. Drawing on many years of research by the authors, it tells the story of this important but often overlooked glass manufacturer, whose production spanned the years from early American pattern glass to elegant glass of the 1920s. Hundreds of patterns and individual items are identified, many of them for the first time. Fully illustrated with high quality photographs, catalog reprints, and trade journal advertisements, the volume is divided into two parts. The first is arranged by pattern, conveniently sorted by design elements, and the second half is arranged by shape, making it easy to find candlesticks, creams and sugars, vases, decanters, tumblers, and much more. In addition to the history of Co-op Flint, this book also includes information about the later life of the molds with examples of pieces made in these molds by the Phoenix Glass Company and John E. Kemple Glassworks, among others. Values as of 2009 are included. Written by E. Earl Autenreith and JoAnne S. Autenreith, with photographs by David Bentley. 376 pages, including bibliography and index, with over 500 illustrations, including many in full color. 8 1/2" x 11". ISBN 0-9793772-7-3.

(WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
