The Federal Glass Company was established in 1900 in Columbus Ohio and operated their glass making by hand, making pressed glassware, some of it with needle etchings. Federal Glass had the business acumen to anticipate the publics need for a large amount of glassware for a reasonable price and made the step over to automated productions as soon as they were able, becoming one of the best and most prolific companies to produce cheaper glasses and pitchers and jugs by machinery. The 1930’s saw Federal Glass emerge as one of the leading producters in machine pressed, molded tableware in various colors, and in the forties they expanded their operations to include service to the food service, or restaurant industry. During the next decades after the forties the Federal Glass company emerged as a lead supply house to many commercial food institutions not only nationally but world wide.
Patterns which the Federal Glass company made include: Colonial Fluted "Rope"- (1928-32) (Crystal, Green) Columbia- (1938-1942) (Crystal, Pink) Diana - (1937-1941) (Amber, Crystal, Crystal Decorated, Pink, Frosted Colors) Fruits - (Crystal, Pink, Green) (1931-1936) Georgian - (Amber, Crystal, Green) (1931-1936) Madrid - (1932-1939) (Amber, Blue, Crystal, Green, some Iridescent, Pink) Normandie - (1933-1940) (Amber, Crystal, Iridescent, Pink) Parrot (Sylvan)- (1931-1932) (Amber, Some Crystal, Green) Patrician - (1933-1937) (Amber, Crystal, Green, Pink) Rosemary (Dutch Rose) (1935-1937) (Amber, Green, Pink) Sharon (1935-1939) - (Amber, Crystal, Pink, Green) |

Hi There Monna. Federal Glass Moonglow was produced mid seventies I think, but I”ll have to double check that to be postive. While its not super old its something that a lot of collectors are just wild about.
