The Crystal Closet

Featuring Crystal, Depression Glass, Brass, and Other Household Items

This is the Anchor Hocking Shelf. Anchor Hocking started out as the Hocking Glass Company of Lancaster, Ohio around 1904. It began by making small wares. In 1905 the Beaumont Glass Co., Martins Ferry, Ohio, became a part of the Hocking Glass Co. In 1906 the Ohio Flint Glass Co. merged with it. A fire destroyed the company in 1924, but a new factory was built. Six months later, the Lancaster Glass Co., and the Standard Glass Manufacturing Co. joined with Hocking. The company was producing more glass than ever. In 1937 The Anchor Cap and Closure Corp, and its subsidiaries merged with Hocking. The name was change to Anchor Hocking Glass Co. at this time. The company continued to expand, acquiring the Maywood Glass Co., and the Carr-Lowrey Glass Co. during the 1940's. It has acquired other companies since then. The Anchor Hocking Glass Co. produced a enormous amount of glass in its time, and is still in business today.

Most of the items we sell are older pieces. We describe them to the best of our ability, but keep in mind that these are old 'used' items. They may have natural flaws such as air bubbles, straw marks, scratches, and/or wear from normal household use, etc.

If you are looking for a piece like Grandma had, or just like to collect certain styles or patterns, you may find them here.

There are well over two thousand items in my collection, most of which are available for you to buy. Only a small portion of this huge collection is represented here, and we are constantly adding new items. So look over the items on this web page, and if you see something you like, email me to purchase it. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, email me to ask about it, what you're looking for might just be tucked away in a corner of my closet.

Please note that all the information provided here is accurate to the best of my knowledge. However, I'm only human, and I can make mistakes. As I learn more about the origins and history of a piece in my collection, I will update the info provided here.

Now you can pay by Visa or MasterCard by using PayPal. It's free to use and you will find a Paypal 'buy-now' button on each item's page. If you prefer to pay by check or money order, you can do that right from the page too.

Thank you for visiting my Website, and whatever you do, enjoy your day!
