These dishes and glasses were made at the Hemingray plant during the "Owens Illinois years". These pieces are "Libbey Glass". The Muncie Hemingray/Owens Illinois site was a Libbey glass plant. Making several ranges of table glassware

The Muncie plant closed its doors on September 1, 1972. The St. Regis pattern shows back up in a new size called "Mini-Rocks 5oz." And the regular 7 oz.10 years past this date in "1982 Glassware for the food services industry" the 5oz. never appeared in catalogs during the years of production at the Muncie, IN plant.

The 5oz. unit was never made at the Muncie plant as it was made 10 years after the plant closed. The 7oz. appears to have lived on "Post Munice" or they had lots of "new old stock" of them in the warehouse. We do know that during the Muncie plant operation the 7 oz. glasses were made there. At this time it is unknown if this pattern was also made at other Libbey plants or not.

NOTE: We know these were made at the old Hemingray plant from talking with a former employee who showed me examples of them in his collection.

These items are shown in the "1955 Factory Stock General Listings Catalog" under the category of " miscellaneous glassware."

"A wide range of special-purpose glassware developed by Libbey over the years to meet your special needs. Not part of any specific line, they still carry the proud Libbey tradition of quality."

4 ½ oz. Parfait, 12oz. Soda, 6 ½ oz. Tulip Sundae, 3 ½ oz. Sherbet, and 5" Supreme make a surprising reappearance in the 1982 Food Services Catalog after not being seen for nine (9) years (and 10 years after the closing of the Muncie plant).

Not 100% sure what this dish is. It never shows up in any of the catalogs. There were shards found at the Hemingray factory dump and was definitely made at the Muncie plant. If you know anything about it please contact me.
