Lynchburg Glass Corporation
Insulator Price Lists

Among the records of the Lynchburg Glass Corporation obtained by N. R. Woodward were five of the six price lists published by the company, missing only Price List 3. These were preserved with other company documents by W. H. Loyd, the last president of the company who supervised sale of the plant, equipment, and remaining stock. Access to these documents courtesy of Justin Stoudt. Scans by Dennis Bratcher.

* The date July 1, 1925 is penciled in over the original date on the only existing copy. Since the plant ceased production in May, 1925, the penciled date suggests that these were the prices used to sell the remaining stock on hand.

** Even though it carries an effective date of October 1, 1924, this is obviously a later price list with an incorrect date. This price list provided a discount for individual items ordered in quantities over 5,000.
