Diamond Glass-Ware
Diamond Glassware Company has a long history that started with several glass companies that were located in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The company was located on the site previously occupied by the Indiana Glass Company, 1892-93, the Northwood Company,1896-99, Northwood Works of the National Glass Company, 1900-1904, Dugan Glass Company, 1904-1913, and Diamond Glass Company, 1914-1915. The company made a variety of bowls, plates, comports, covered pieces and candleholders. The bowls generally have a flat edge on the bottom of the foot rim. The Egyptian Lustre, black stretch and Blue Crackle are unique to this company and have helped identify many pieces.
The blue, green, and crystal pieces are easily obtainable, but the purples, all shades, pink, and black are much more difficult to obtain. Only a few pieces of red or amberina are known and the blue crackle is always appreciated by collectors. The marigold pieces are uncommon, but not highly prized by most stretch glass collectors. A few pieces of a shiny marigold iridescence on milk glass are known, but these pieces do not have the characteristic stretch effect.
Diamond made one famous line, the Adam's Rib or #900 line. Diamond also made numerous blown-molded vases with pinched surfaces or a surface crackle effect.

Glass insulators were first produced in the 1850's for use with telegraph lines. As technology developed insulators were needed for telephone lines, electric power lines, and other applications. In the mid 1960's a few people began collecting these insulators. Today there are over 2000 collectors, insulator clubs and national shows.
