The trade name “
Duraglas
” (in a cursive script with only the first letter capitalized) was registered by Owens-Illinois Glass Company, of Toledo, Ohio on September 23, 1941. The official registration number was #0390467. “First use anywhere” and “First use in commerce” was stated on the paperwork (submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office) to have been September 4, 1940.
This is (or was) one of the most commonly-seen trademarks in the history of the United States. The brand name is found embossed on innumerable glass bottles, jars and jugs made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company throughout the 1940s, ’50s, and up into the 1960s, although some bottles made even into the 1970s are seen with the logo. The name appears often on either the base or the heel of the container. Owens-Illinois had been working for years on improving their container glass formula, increasing it’s strength and durability in order to produce bottles with less weight, thus increasing profitability. This new, stronger glass formula was given the trade name “
Duraglas
”.
