Info on Westmorland Glass Company from the internet follows:

The Westmoreland Glass Company grew out of the Specialty Glass Company of East Liverpool, Ohio, which, in 1889, relocated to Grapeville, Pennsylvania, to take advantage of the area’s abundant supply of natural gas. By 1890, production of pitchers, goblets, tumblers, and glass novelty items was underway, overseen by two brothers named George and Charles West. With the backing of Ira Brainard from nearby Pittsburgh, the brothers soon bought out the Ohio founders and changed the firm’s name to the Westmoreland Specialty Company.

Operation of the factory ran smoothly for nearly 30 years. During this period, Westmoreland produced virtually every type ofglassware, from inexpensivepressed glassto priciercut glass. Disagreements between the two brothers eventually resulted in George leaving the company, which Charles ran on his own. Around the same time, the name was changed to Westmoreland Glass Company to eliminate the confusion among consumers about what a “specialty” company might actually produce—“glass” made the company’s mission crystal clear.

Throughout World War I, the Westmoreland Glass Company manufactured and distributed intricately molded,candy-filled glass jarsin the shapes of automobiles, trains, and even revolvers to newsstands and dime stores across the U.S. The jars were made of high-qualitymilk glass, or opal, a signature material that distinguished Westmoreland glass from its competitors.
