This is
a set of Vintage Round Robin Sherbet Glasses & Saucers, Set of 4, Economy Glass Company, Vintage from the 1930s.
In 1903, George Fry (later to establish the Fry Glass Co.) was General Manager of the Economy Tumbler Company. Fry was replaced in 1909 by Wilbur Hunter who was to be President of the company until 1923. Hunter modernized the company and led it into mass production of ‘colored’ glassware.
George Dougherty succeeded Hunter as President and General Manager in 1923 and changed the name of the company to ‘Economy Glass Company’, deleting the word ‘tumbler’. By the late 1920s, retailers of the company’s glassware consistently referred to it as ‘Old Morgantown’ which prompted the company to include labels marked ‘Old Morgantown…Made in the U.S.A.’. In 1929 the ‘Economy Glass Company’ officially changed its name back to ‘Morgantown Glassworks, Inc.’ The company closed in 1937. The reason for its demise is unknown but it was probably a casualty of the Great Depression.
The early glass companies changed so much that there were some Variations in Certain Patterns. I would say they are Both Round Robin. Due to changes in companies the pattern changed slightly through the ages.
