Flint Glass For Sale

Early Flint Glass began production in the U.S. around the 1820's
and continued till about 1860 when the government asked the glass
companies to stop using Red Lead in their glass. This type of lead was
needed during the Civil War for muskets and cannons. By the 1880's most
all companies had changed over completely to Lime Soda production.
All of our early Flint Glass pieces are authentic and they are in perfect
condition unless mentioned otherwise.
