A little history: The Jeannette Glass Company was one of the major manufacturers of Late or Depression Era Carnival Glass. The company started life as a bottle plant in 1898, but table glassware soon became the company's staple output (very occasionally marked with their early trademark J-in-triangle and later J in a square). Jeannette introduced their iridized output from the 1920s and one or two lines even ran into the 1970s.
Jeannette's glass was "machine made" - automated - unlike the earlier Classic Carnival Glass which was pressed and finished by hand. It is this machine production which lends a characteristic uniformity to what is usually termed Late or Depression Era Carnival Glass. In 1981, Connecticut businessman John P. Brogan leveraged a buyout financed by Security Pacific Business Credit. Due to Brogan's lack of knowledge in the glass industry, Jeannette was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1982 and closed in the following year in 1983. At its height, Jeannette employed over 1,500. The property has steadily deteriorated since then, and is heavily contaminated.
