Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: This photograph shows a workman blowing down a steel pipe and forming a large round glass shape at the end. Glass was an important industry in Ohio, and few are aware that Toledo was, at one time, one of the greatest glass-processing centers in the world, though other cities around the state, such as Newark and Lancaster, also had very successful operations. This is most likely the Libbey Glass Company Plant in Toledo, which manufactures tumblers, cut-glass, thin-blown stemware, engraved and decorated glass, though it could also be the Anchor-Hocking Glass Company in Lancaster or any other the other glass making plants in Ohio.
