Buckeye Glass Co. was founded in 1878 in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio, by wealthy capitalist, Henry Helling. John F. Miller was the Secretary before Helling purchased the factory from Excelsior (Glass) Works and changed the name. In 1887, Harry Northwood joined as General Manager. In 1888, Pattern #528 (REVERSE SWIRL) was made in a variety of shapes and colors. Later in 1888, Miller left the company, but returned in 1891, and he was known to have been at Model Flint Glass Co. in 1901. REVERSE SWIRL was made at both locations, but it is believed the bowls shown here was only made at Buckeye Glass.
