History

Some estimates over the years indicate that Jeannette once produced somewhere between 70-85% of the world's glass. Co., Inc., which produces small working models of steam engines and turbines. Unfortunately, the Jeannette's glass industry was one of the early United States industry victims of cheap, foreign competition that made it less expensive to produce glass overseas and today only two glass factories remain in the city. Names like Jeannette Glass; Fort Pitt Glass; the Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company; American-Saint Gobain, Westmoreland Glass; and others all supplied the country with everything from plate glass windows, to bottles, to milk glass, and much more for many decades.
