• Made in USA by Hazel Atlas
• Vintage: 1950's 
• Description:  These glasses are a treasure!  They were made in the 1950's when families would load up into the car and travel across the United States on vacation.  Everyone wanted a souvenir to bring back and these glasses also showed them the fun and interesting places they could visit while vacationing, in a very kitschy way.  Hazel Atlas began producing drinking glasses with fired-on illustrations by the Gay Fad Decorating Company, (note the small “GF” on the lower right hand corner of this state map), they also made others with different colors, designs, and state and song lyrics.  The HA mark from Hazel Atlas is barely visible but it is on the bottom of the glass. This is a tumbler style glass, excellent for everyday use and great to serve retro cocktails!   If you're starting a collection, this will be a great addition, or great for the bar to hold swizzle sticks or pretzel sticks.  Great for someone moving to Oregon or who grew up there!  We carry several other states while supplies last.

The Hazel Atlas Corporation was founded in 1885 Wellsburg, WV, by Charles N. Brady and C.H. Tallman.  The name "Hazel" was suggested by someone in their family, because they thought it had a nice sound. Originally producing only glass inserts used in zinc lids needed for canning jar closures, they grew into the largest glass-container manufacturer in the world.  They moved to Washington, PA, eventually expanding to:  Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Rochester, Cleveland and San Francisco.  They enjoyed a rich history, with many ups and downs.  In 1956 they were acquired by the Continental Can Company.  At the time, Hazel Atlas was the third largest glass container manufacturer in the United States, unfortunately this move lead to their demise.  It is said that bad leadership, greed and anti-trust issues contributed to their problems.  Continental Can Company sold Hazel Atlas Glass to Brockway Glass in 1965. The Wheeling WV building was donated to the West Liberty State College in 1966.
