McKee Glass was founded in 1834, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by the McKee Brothers. They also went under the names J. & F. McKee, Bryce, McKee & Company, McKee and Brothers, National Glass Company and McKee Glass Company. Five brothers were involved in the company with James and Samuel involved in other McKee factories as well. They produced window glass, bottles, Depression glass, milk glass, kitchenware and much more.

In the 1850’s, they opened up a factory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, producing flint and pressed glass. In 1888, they moved the factory to Jeanette, Pennsylvania, and within a year, combined with the National Glass Company. In 1903, they reorganized as the McKee Glass Company. They produced milk glass, pressed glass and window glass. In 1917, they made glass headlight lenses for Dodge. In 1951, they were sold and became the McKee Division of the Thatcher Glass Manufacturing Company.

They were later acquired by the Jeannette Glass Company and finally closed down for good in 1983.

I have a McKee Hickman Gold Trim salt/pepper shaker (no lid) and I cannot find any information on it.
Replacements.com has it listed, but no pictures or other info.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you, Heather

I purchased 7 small 3 inch plain round plates (maybe butter pats?) They are jadeite green and are embossed on the bottom of each, McK. I cannot find any information on them. Does anyone know what their purpose is and when they were made?

I have a amethyst carriage. The only other one I found stated there were no markings and it was Mckee Brothers. (The one I have has no markings either)
Before I do anything with it, I would like to know if it is a Mckee Brothers for sure.
Any ideas how or where I can get information on this?

Amazing to me that the very item I am curious about is like the one Lyn has. This is my second one. The first was given to my ex mother in-law. This is marked same as Lyn’s. There is a glass cylinder under the heavy glass lid. Presumably, to hold ice and chill the beverage without watering it down. Have no clue what a second hole on the side could do. Mine has a little spigot at the lower side as did the first one. Seems silly to leave an opening for a vent. Unless they wanted the flys to have a drink too. I gave $150 for the first one in 1983. This one even more. In fact, it was on a high shelf in a lady’s kitchen and she had no trouble talking me out of $300 off of a repair bill on her house. And no I was not overcharging her a lot so that the numbers meant nothing. Always had a heart for my clients never charged enough to stay in business. No mo plumbing!

I recently purchased a water cooler bottle with gasket and heavy glass lid. There is a hole near the bottom that I assume is for a spicket, but there is also one on the top, and I wonder if it is for a stopper of some sort or cork just for air purpose.. It is probally about 5 gallon size, maybe a little less. I am told it comes from the local funeral home in Mayfield KY. I purchased it near there. I only paid $20 or $25 and thought it was a deal. I was looking for large glass containers to put cookie cutters in for display. Can you give me any info on this. It is marked McKee Glass Jeannette PA

Thanks , Lyn
