New England Glass Company edit

Really surprised that New England Glass Company does not get its own Wikipedia page. At one time, it was the largest glassmaker in the United States. Its co-founder, Deming Jarves, is considered the father of American glassmaking. Libbey's Toledo-based glass company existed in a "different glassmaking world" in another part of the country. My understanding is that Libbey closed the New England works in 1888 during a strike, and took many of the employees to Toledo to set up a new factory. TwoScars (talk) 19:01, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
