Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the "glass boom era" in northwest Ohio & how it led to the building of many glass manufacturing plants in the Findlay-Fostoria-Bowling Green-Tiffin, Ohio area. The present study features Fostoria, Ohio glass, which became world famous in a brief time. From 1887 to 1920, Fostoria had 13 glass plants with varying lifespans. Best known of the factories was the Fostoria Glass Company, which left Ohio for Moundsville, West Virginia after only four years. The glass was so nationally-popular that the name "Fostoria" was retained. Other famous glass factories were Consolidated Lamp & Glass Company, Nickel Plate Glass Company, Seneca Glass Company, Fostoria Glass Speciality Company, Mosaic Glass Company, Fostoria Shade & Lamp Company, & many more. One of the factories produced glass that was, & is, mistaken for Tiffany glass. The Fostoria glass houses featured gorgeously colored glass & a surprising number specialized in beautiful lamps. This book is a must for glass collectors, as Fostoria glass is on nearly every glass collector's wanted or interest list. Glass collectors, fanciers, & scholars will glory in the color pictures of this wide-ranging book: a study in beauty from the Gilded Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of natural gas around Findlay in 1886 started an industrial rush in northwest Ohio. Within five years, over 100 glass companies had moved into the region for free gas and railroad connections to the western markets. Unfortunately the gas ran out in just a few years, and many glass companies moved on, but those that stayed changed the nature of the glass industry forever. A brilliant inventor, Michael Owens of Libbey Glass automated the glass-making process after 3,000 years of no change. His automated bottle-making machine changed American life with the introduction of the milk bottle, beer bottle, glass jar, baby bottle, and soda bottle. It also eliminated child labor in the glass factories. Owens also automated the production of fl at glass by 1920. By 1930, over 85 percent of the world's glass was being produced on the machines of Michael Owens, bestowing the title of "Glass Capital of the World" upon northwest Ohio.
