Duraglass

Does anyone know when the duraglass company came out. I find these bottles laying in the woods all the time. I found 7up's from the 30's and 40's, another weird looking soda with a patent date of mar 3, 1925, also found an old aqua beer seems stop below the lip. If anyone has info on the company i would appreciate it..............Jake

Duraglas Trademark was used after 1940 by Owens Illinois glass company (diamond with an O and a small i inside)

wil, so before 1940 it was duraglass and after 1940 it was bought out by owens illinois glass company? If it says duraglass its before 1940? Am i headed in the right direction with this? Have any idea when this duraglass first started? Is it an illinois company?..........Jake

Hey Jake, Duraglass was made by Owens Illinois Glass Co. It was glass that was tempered so it was tougher and could withstand higher temperatures. Alot of oven ware was made of it.

Duraglass was seen on bottles from 1940 on.
