The Knox Glass Bottle Company was a former American glass manufacturing company based in Knox, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.[1] The great majority of the company's production was in the form of glass bottles with 7 k inside of a keystone 404 many of which were beer bottles, milk bottles, and a large number of glass medicine bottles in a variety of standard sizes. Bottle collectors identify the company's products through the mould numbers and distinctive letter-in-a-keystone mark on the base of the bottles.[2][3] HistoryThe founder of the Knox Glass Bottle Company was Roy Underwood (1887−1951).[1] During its operations, from 1917 to 1968, the company acquired 16 other glassmaking companies−plants in the United States.[1][4] A lawsuit between the company and a former executive (Knox Glass Bottle Company v. Underwood, 89 So.2d 799 (Miss. 1956)) "was the first Mississippi Supreme Court case to define in detail the fiduciary duties of a corporate director and officer," according to a law firm that represented one of the parties.[5] The company was acquired by the Glass Container Corporation in 1968, which filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in Delaware in 1999.[6] References1. ^1 2 [https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/Knox2_BRG.pdf SHA.org: History of the Knox Glass Bottle Company] . accessed 20 November 2016. 2. ^BLM.gov, Bottles and Extras: "Knox Glass and the Marks Toulouse Missed" (Winter 2004) — discusses the company history, and the T-in-a-keystone mark used by the company's Palestine, Texas plant. 3. ^Palestine (Texas) Herald: "Knox Glass plant marker dedication planned Saturday" — discusses the Knox Glass Bottle Co. of Mississippi branch plant in Palestine, Texas (1941−1985) + Texas Historical Marker at site. 4. ^Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library, Local and State History Books Collection: "March of Progress, 1775-1933" - section on the history of the Knox Glass Bottle Company, L.
