#10 - TOWANDA CUT GLASS

This beautiful and elegant collection of cut glass was made in Towanda at the Wayne Cut Glass Company. The company had formed in Honesdale, Pennsylvania in 1905, and opened their Towanda factory in 1910 on the corner of Main and Elizabeth Streets (the former Humphrey Brothers shoe factory). The factory closed in 1918 due to the difficulty in obtaining resources during World War I.

Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces.
