Miscellaneous

Here I have items that don't seem to fit anywhere in the other categories. You never know what you may find here (I don't either)! Right now I have a selection of Wade figurines and Wheaton decanters and collectible bottles.

Avon

Starting in 1886 as the California Perfume Company, Avon has grown to be one of the country's largest home-to-home selling businesses. In fact, today it is the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of cosmetics, perfumes and costume jewelry. I have a large selection of beer steins that can be found in "Barware". I carry other items in Dinnerware, Housewares, Glassware and Miscellanous.

Hagen-Renaker, Inc.

Hagen-Renaker, Inc., a well-known producer of figurines, began in 1945 and is located in San Dimas, CA.

Hall China

The Hall China Company is located in East Liverpool, Ohio. It has been in business since founded on August 14, 1903. Dinnerware production has been sporatic, however. The company produced dinnerware from 1908 to 1911 and then stopped until 1936. The company is probably most well-known for producing the Jewel Tea Autumn Leaf pattern. In March of 2010, the company merged with Homer Laughlin China Company.

Hazel Atlas

The Hazel Atlas Glass Company began in 1902 and was first located in Washington, Pennsylvania. Eventually, the company grew and had a number of different plants. Over the years pieces of the company were sold off to other manufacturers. Its final demise came in 1987.

KLM

KLM was founded in 1919. They began giving away these Blue Delft house to their customers in 1952. Since then, the popularity of the houses has soared and they are now highly collectible.

Oneida

Oneida can trace its roots back to 1848 when John Humphrey Noyes found the Oneida Community located in upstate New York. The company earned its reputation for making fine silverware. In 1881, Oneida Community, Ltd was established. In the 1970s the company began to concentrate on stainless steel flatware and around 1983 it further diversified into dinnerware with the purchase of Buffalo China. It currently has facilities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Roger Bros.

Roger Bros. was established in 1847 in Hartford, Connecticut. It later came part of the International Silver.

Unknown Glassware

There are pieces here that could have been made by any number of manufacturers who used paper labels to identify their products.

Unknown Miscellaneous

These items are by unknown manufacturers and don't really fit in any of my other categories.

Wade

Wade is an Irish pottery company perhaps best known in the United States for producing the small figures given away in Rose Tea boxes.

Wheaton Glass Company

The Wheaton Glass Company, located in New Jersey, produced a number of shaving mugs for the Shulton Old Spice Company from around 1960 to 1974.
