FYI: The Macbeth-Evans Glass Company was an American glass company that created "almost every kind of glass for illuminating, industrial and scientific purposes," but is today famous for making depression glass.[1]
The company was established in 1899 after a merger between the glass companies of Thomas Evans and George A. Macbeth.[1] The company was based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and operated multiple offices in the region, but the most significant glass works was located in Charleroi, Pennsylvania.[1] It quickly absorbed the American Chimney Lamp Company to gain control of M. J. Owens's patents on the Owens glass-blowing machine, as well as Hogans-Evans Company, becoming at the time the largest lamp glass manufacturer in the world.[2] During World War 1, most of the company's production was dedicated to producing glass, particularly reflectors for searchlights, for the army and navy.[1] The company was bought by Corning Glass Works in 1936,[3] but it continued to operate as the "Macbeth-Evans Division of Corning Glass Works in Charleroi, Pennsylvania."[4]
