This is monograph No. 160 in the glass study series of The West Virginia Museum of American Glass. Expanding on the author's brief article in the Apriil 2021 issue of All About Glass, this monograph includes not only histories of the DeVilbiss Company and the Fenton Art Glass Company, but also information on the hardware used on DeVilbiss atomizers, identifying labels, the Fenton colors produced during these years (including vaseline), and detailed information on each of the atomizers and perfume bottles offered during the decade-long-plus association between the two companies. This is a must-have for collectors of perfumes and Fenton enthusiasts. 39 pages. illustrated in color throughout. This small work is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. The WVMAG monographs address glass topics that yet lack the wide interest to make publishing a book commercially successful or that we do not yet know enough to commit to the more permanent form of a book. WVMAG's photocopied monographs are endeavors in seed planting by providing information on topics that may not have been previously readily available that other researchers can draw upon in formulating their own work. If you are a member of WVMAG (at the $35.00 or above level), you will receive a $4.00 refund from the price of this monograph after payment has been made.

(WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
