Vintage Economy Glass Company "Round Robin" Vaseline Sarsaparilla outlets Glass - Made in USA - Early 1930's

The Morgantown Glass Works was founded in 1899 in Morgantown, West Virginia. In the early years, colorless glass was their main production line producing blown glass tumblers and pressed tableware. In 1903, the Morgantown Glass Works became the Economy Tumbler Company. By the late 1910's when color was introduced, mass production of colored ware for commercial, institutional, and home use placed the Economy Tumbler Company's glass in high demand. In 1923, the Economy Tumbler Company again saw the need to change its name, hence the name was changed to Economy Glass Company. In 1929, the Economy Glass Company became Morgantown Glass Works, Inc. and the factory closed in 1937.
