    Harry Northwood
    formed The Northwood Glass Company in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, in 1888. In 1892 the firm relocated to Ellwood City, PA, and then moved again to Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1896. In 1901, unhappy with being a member of the National Glass Combine, Northwood severed his ties with National, bought the old Hobbs, Brockunier plant in Wheeling, West Virginia, and was back to being happy as an independent producer. His old plant in Indiana, PA, became the Dugan Glass Company. H. Northwood & Company began producing iridized glassware circa 1908. Northwood was the only glass maker to use the Pie Crust Edge (PCE) on his Carnival Glass bowls, and was about the only one to use an embossed trademark. Unfortunately, the application of his trademark
    was an inconsistent process, so much of Northwood's glass left the factory unmarked. Don't depend solely on the presence of a trademark for authenticity; learn the patterns and learn which ones were reproduced, so that you don't pass over many wonderful pieces that aren't trademarked or, waste your money on a reproduction or fake.
    Antique Condition
    refers to the many production issues related to the dirty and dangerous production methods and the non-existance of Quality Control (as we know it today), which are endemic to glassware from the early 1900s. These production issues include:
    Air bubbles
    not squeezed out during pressing.
    Heat checks
    which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.
    Inclusions
    in or on the surface of the glass such as ash, grit or other foreign matter.
    Strands
    of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass). Lines called
    straw marks
    where molten glass was snipped from the gathering rod with cool metal shears, causing the glass touched by the shears to harden prematurely; lines on the glass also formed naturally during the cooling process.
    Tool marks
    left by the implements used to form edges or influence shape (flaring, cupping, etc).
    Mold fill and mold release issues
    such as incomplete or malformed edges,
    rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.
    Cooling issues
    such as
    uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface fissures and rim splits. While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique glassware.
