ISBN: 979-8-9883853-0-1 This volume covers the history of the H.C. Fry Glass Company from 1911-1920, with emphasis on the many American brilliant cut glass patterns brought out by the H.C. Fry Glass Company and well as the famed etchings brought out by Fry's second factory, the Beaver Valley Glass Company. These were also the years when Fry brought out their crystal oven ware and, in response to shortages brought on by World War I, introduced laboratory glassware to their line. This book is the culmination of over forty years of research and consists entirely of primary sources, including trade journal reports, newspapers, original advertisements, and archival materials passed down in the Davis family, with illustrations drawn from those sources as well as from catalogs, private collections of Fry family photographs, postcards, Sanborn fire maps, and much more. Published with assistance from the H. C. Fry Glass Society. Published by the Glass Flakes Press. Coil bound with laminated covers. 289 pages. Includes 106 illustrations. This book is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. If you are a member of WVMAG (at the $35.00 or above level), you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment. If you are not already a member, please consider joining today. Membership benefits include a subscription to our acclaimed quarterly magazine All About Glass. About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (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.
