Dugan Glass / Diamond Glass Company, Indiana, PA
In 1892, Indiana Glass Company was formed in a town of Indiana, PA. The plant was short lived, and was later acquired by Harry Northwood. Following the Northwood production, the plant was reorganized by Thomas Dugan, and continued producing glass, starting with carnival glass in about 1908. Thomas Dugan continued his association until 1913, when the plant was reorganized as Diamond Glass Co. Most famous for their peach opalescent glass, the company continued production until 1931, when damaged by fire, it was never rebuilt.

The old Dugan moulds have been acquired by the LG Wright Company which continued issuing many reproductions in carnival, opalescent and pressed glass. Watersets were among the most heavily reproduced, including the patterns of Beaded Shell, Heavy Iris, God & Home and Dahlia. Although the early tumblers are most often found in marigold; purple, blue and white examples can sometimes be found. Green is a very scarce color in Dugan/Diamond production.
