In 1905, the beginnings of Anchor Hocking Glass Company occurred near the Hocking River. The company, then named Hocking Glass Company, was based in Ohio, and would later become a part of several acquisitions and mergers that would lead it to modern day success.
While entire pages could be written about these mergers alone, the company is most known for its Anchor Hocking Depression Glass, known for being an affordable indulgence, and the many attractive glass patterns that followed. Depression glass was known for being affordable.
This company was a marvel at adaptation and survival and for example, took advantage of advances in glass production which allowed pieces to go from start to finish in a flash, shortening labor time and lowering cost.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Hocking was able to produce several of its patterns at the low price of only a nickel. These cheap production practices are one of the major reasons the company was fortunate enough to survive the Great Depression.
Near the end of the 1930s, the company debuted its Royal Ruby colored patterns, captivating the market with its rich, deep coloring and distinctive patterns. Royal Ruby Depression glass was produced in several patterns, including R-1700, Coronation, Bubble, and Miss America. In addition to Depression glass, the Anchor Hocking Glass Company also produced beer bottles for Schlitz in its signature Ruby color.
Oddly, in contrast to most glass producers during the Great Depression, Anchor was most known for its patterns and brands during another era. From 1940 to 1976, the company produced “Fire-King” brand glass, which was primarily for baking and storage. Dinnerware, coffee mugs and other items were also produced under Fire-King’s brand.
