A little history of Beatty & Sons Company:
History of A.J. Beatty & Son's Glass Company:
Established in Steubenville, OH, in 1845 by Joseph Beatty and Edward Stillman.
Alexander Beatty later purchased the works and formed A.J. Beatty & Sons Glass Company in 1852.
The company also operated out of Tiffin, OH.
The factory was relocated to Tiffin in 1888 and began operations in 1889, producing 500,000 pressed
tumblers per week, according to the Tiffin Glass Museum.
The factory merged with the United States Glass Company in 1892 and was later destroyed by fire in 1893.
- As a seller I do my best to represent the product I am selling. I take numerous pictures and make them as clear as possible. To write a great description with accurate information, I research the item the best I can. With that in mind please remember that these items are vintage or antique which means they are 20 to 100+ years old. They have been around a long time and usually not sitting in a cupboard untouched. Do expect some wear and tear. If you want something brand new right out of a mold then you will need to shop elsewhere.
I package very well. Insurance included in shipping.
