Heisey Pressed, Blown, Etched, Cut and Engraved Price List No. 217 and No. 22

A. H. Heisey & Co. (1896-1957) was an innovator and leader in the glassmaking industry. In addition to introducing hundreds of new designs in glassware and numerous improvements to the glass production process, Heisey also pioneered new ways to market glassware. Heisey price lists were periodically issued by the company to enable glassware buyers to order their products for retail sale. The lists provide detailed information about the available items in each pattern line, including pattern number, size, description, colors, decorations and wholesale pricing. Price List No. 217 and No. 22 was issued in January 1944. It contains listings and illustrations for a variety of items in several pattern lines such as Old Williamsburg, Yeoman, Old Sandwich, Ipswich, Puritan, Kohinoor, Crystolite, Whirlpool, Lariat, Fern, Warwick and New Era. Six etchings, eleven cuttings and a variety of miscellaneous items such as vases, candlesticks and bar ware are also illustrated. A listing of patents and detailed terms and conditions of sale are also included.
