Timothy Howe & Wm. Libbey took over Mt. Washington in 1863, and William L. Libbey moved the firm to New Bedford in 1870. A reorganization of the company in 1874 brought Frederick S.

Many types of art glass were made by Mt. Washington until 1894, when the company merged with Pairpoint Manufacturing Co.
