Millersburg Glass Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Millersburg Glass Company was started in 1908 by John W Fenton in Millersburg, OH.[1]
In early 1908 John W. Fenton left the Fenton Art Glass Company after a falling-out with his brother Frank Fenton.[2] Though he remained on the Fenton board of directors.[3] He had helped found Fenton Art Glass with his brother in 1905 .[2]
The Millersburg factory was located in Millersburg, OH and was constructed quickly.[3] The factory was state of the art for its day and opened in 1909.[3] John was not the best businessman, he was more of a promoter.[3] The factory was in an obscure location and the company folded in 1911.[1] The company was sold to Samuel Fair and was reopened as the Radium Glass Company.[1] This company only lasted one year and closed in 1912.[1]
