I've been talking about starting this thread for at least a week now but because of the overwhelming amount of information I found, it delayed me in posting it. My biggest challenge was to try and glean the information into a simple format without getting too far afield with stuff that was of no particular interest and yet still be able to capture the attention of soda bottle collectors in particular. I hope the end result will justify the means. This is a work in progress and I still have some organizing to do, but I can think of no better place to start than with this brief history of the Glenshaw Glass Company. It has all the key elements that will help tie together the information that will eventually follow. I consider this the best brief history of the company available and hope you find it informative. The two attachments are original newspaper articles, and both incidents are mentioned in the brief history. Within the next few days I will be adding information specific to Glenshaw bottles, some of which I believe will give us a better understanding of the mysterious lip codes. But for now, please familiarize yourself with the brief history and the accompanying attachments. I hope this will emphasize the difficulties the Glenshaw Glass Company had during it's early years of operation. Note: I'm posting the link to the brief history on the following post because it is one of those super-long links and I don't want it to mess up the text here. Attachments From ... 1.
