On this page are Diamond Glass-Ware patterns (Dugan/Diamond) that we have found in the afterglow line. Patterns such as Apple Blossom, Beaded Basket, Cherries, Coin Spot, Question Mark, and Windflower are illustrated in the 1928 advertisement of the G. Sommers & Co. catalog. In the photographs below are other patterns that were not illustrated in trade journals or catalogs or previously reported in carnival glass reference books. The patterns shown have been historically atributed to the Dugan Glass Company due to the fact that no glass company advertisement illustrated these patterns after 1912. It has been assumed by historians that the glass moulds for at least three of these patterns were destroyed in a factory fire in 1912. The fact that we have found the following three patterns: Apple Blossom Twigs, Fancifull, and Roundup in the pink afterglow appear to be the first evidence that the glass moulds were not destroyed in the 1912 fire, but continued to be used by the Diamond Glass-Ware Company until it was destroyed by another fire in 1931. To our knowledge none of the these three patterns have been previously reported in the pink afterglow line of carnival glass.
