BROOKE GLASS COMPANY,INC.by Lloyd & NanBROOKE GLASS COMPANY, INC.1879 - PRESENTHISTORYThe Riverside Glass Works was built in 1879on the site where Brooke Glass Inc. standstoday. They made a variety of tableware andoil lamps until 1907 when they closed due tobankruptcy. The plant was reopened in 1911by Mr. Henry A. Rithner, Sr. in partnershipwith Mr. Ellery Worthen as the CrescentGlass Co. manufacturing \"bargoods, tumblersas well as automobile headlight lenses andother lenses for the transportation industry\"(Ref. 1). For a few years from about 1976 to1982 Crescent had a retail line of productsunder the name of Confederate Glass anditems can be found having paper labels withthat name. The Rithner family operatedCrescent until 1982 when it was closed andliquidated. In 1983 Henry Rithner III reopened the plant as Brooke Glass Inc. (Ref.2). On March 30, 2001 the furnaces wereshut down at the Brooke factory and there areno immediate plans to make any more glass.Instead they will contract other glass companies to replenish stock using Brooke moldsand will retain their decorating and distributing departments (Ref. 3).The father and son team of Henry and DavidRithner will continue to operate Brooke Glass.Their product line is mainly lamps and lampparts including some candle lamps from theConfederate molds. These are made by handpressing or press-blowing the pieces fromclear or colored glass. Many of the pieces arehand painted with glass \"ice\" and enamel designs, which are fired on for permanence. Inaddition to 19 listed stock designs, personalized decorations including initials can becustom ordered. There are currently fourhand decorators headed by Goldie Stanley(Ref. 3).Next door to the factory is a gift shop operated by Sharon Mitchell. Sharon\'s husband,Don, was a mold maker for Erskine GlassCompany in Wellsburg, WV for about 20years and made the molds for many of theCrescent/Confederate products.
FAIRY LAMP TYPESIt is not known precisely when the first fairylamps were made but it was probably in themid 1970s for the Confederate Glass line.In addition to models made to be marketedunder the Confederate name, some weremade by Crescent for other companies suchas Lenox, Petites Choses and Comar Industries. Most of the Fairy Lamp shades andbases were made with separate part numbers but with compatible sizes and designs.They could then be combined in differentways for use as candle lamps, with a 2.5\"h.x 2.0\"d. clear glass straight sided candlecup, or with an oil \"cartridge\" for use as restaurant table \"mood\" lighting. Many different designs of one-piece candle lamps, orvotives, have also been made. These littlecandle lamps with their variety of patternsand colors complement a fairy lamp collection nicely and make a pleasing display onshelves in an east-facing window. All colors known for each type are listed in the following even though they may not necessarily be in stock today.PLEASE REFER TO ALL PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM

• Notice Regarding Vintage Items:I specialize in vintage items that are usually 50+ years old. It is important that you examine this item carefully before offerding. I welcome all questions. WhileI try hard to get my description accurate, you must look at the pictures and remember that vintage is NOT new or mint. Unless otherwise stated, items WILL have age related wear. These are usually items that are no longer manufactured or available by retail. I buy at estate sales, yard sales and antique stores and I surface clean most but not all of my items. I try to describe my items the best I can. There is no intentional misleading information in my listings, but there may be a mistake or something missed occasionally due to human error.

• I do not smoke, however the previous owner(s) might have. If you buy or collect vintage you must know that the items come from an era when the vast majority of Americans did smoke.

  Most of my customers want items in their authentic condition which shows wear and proves age so I leave any deep cleaning to the buyer\'s discretion. My items are sold in \"as is\" condition. I try to highlight any flaws over and above normal wear and tear but again, you must look at the pictures and please feel free to ask questions.
