Glass Industry in Cambridge Still Much Alive. By Marllys Victor (reprinting articles from The Daily Jeffersonian.) Despite its title, this booklet published in 1980 by the Degenhart Paperweight and Glass Museum is now a retrospective of the companies that, with one exception, used to be in operation in Cambridge, Ohio. Included are brief descriptions with historical highlights of La-Flo Cut Glass, Variety Glass, Mosser Glass (still operating today), Boyd's Crystal Art Glass, Quality Glass, and glass cutter, Raymond Allen.

16 pages, illustrated throughout. 

The Degenhart Paperweight and Glass Museum commemorated the work of the Degenharts in Cambridge for many years, closing its doors in November 2011. Many of the contents of this museum can now be seen at the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia in Weston.

About the Museum of American Glass (MAGWV)

MAGWV is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization located in Weston, WV.  Our mission is 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.

The Museum contains representative samples of glass products as widely varied as pressed and blown tableware, art glass, bottles, marbles, insulators, automotive glass, glass eyeballs, and much more.  There is also equipment and tools which were used in glassmaking.  We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. 

The Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and oftentimes forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry.

MAGWV displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century, attempting to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies.  No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
