Frank the problem with the American Glass Company is its history which is somewhat vague to say the least. K.R. Haley. & Herman Lowerwitz were business partners involved in the creation of the company in Carney, Kansas, but no date has ever been discovered as to when AGC was founded. They used molds designed by K.R. Haley who in the early 30’s was working for Overmeyer mould in PA. . Then in 1939 Haley & Lowerwitz started the General Glass Company in Greensburg PA. that distributed AGC products so evidently AGC was founded prior to this date. In 1945 Lowerwitz passed, Haley dissolved General & then reincorporated it under K.R. Haley Glassware in business until 1973, but again K.R. Haley was only a distributor. AGC made animals, lying & sitting boxers, jumping horse bookends, angelfish bookends, etc. & all the other animals you find listed under K.R. Haley since Haley never produced glass under his compay name. Haley stated in correspondence with Evelyn Zemel that many of the animals were introduced in 1945 & continued into the 60’s, however he did not state which animals & who produced them although we do know that Phoenix Glass produced the Reuben line that Haley distributed in the late 1960’s. All the sketchy information presents a major problem because L.E. Smith produced the Jumping HorseBookends in 1945-46 & had other AGC molds they produced later so did Haley sell the original AGC molds to L.E. Smith or has this animal been incorrectly attributed all these years?. Kemple Glass also ended up with some of the AGC molds. On the U.S. ChataboutDG board we have not included a history on AGC because of the lack of solid information & I doubt we will ever know much more & I'll tell you why. There is no such place as Carney, Kansas. We have Caney, Kansas, Kearny County, Kansas, but Carney, Kansas simply does not seem to exist. Ken
