  • The Macbeth-Evans Glass Company was an American glass company that created "almost every kind of glass for illuminating, industrial and scientific purposes," but is today famous for making depression glass. The company was established in 1899 after a merger between the glass companies of Thomas Evans and George A. Macbeth. The company was based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and operated multiple offices in the region, but the most significant glass works was located in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. It quickly absorbed the American Chimney Lamp Company to gain control of M. J. Owens's patents on the Owens glass-blowing machine, as well as Hogans-Evans Company, becoming at the time the largest lamp glass manufacturer in the world. During World War I, most of the company's production was dedicated to producing glass, particularly reflectors for searchlights, for the army and navy. The company was bought by Corning Glass Works in 1936, but it continued to operate as the "Macbeth-Evans Division of Corning Glass Works in Charleroi, Pennsylvania." (en)
