Before being hired in 1937 by the Blenko Company as Shop Foreman, Carl Erickson worked at Pairpoint, and Libbey Glass. After leaving Blenko, Carl and his brother Steven, bought a glass company in Bremen, Ohio. Eventually, Carl bought out his brothers interest in the Company. These following designs were made at this company prior to 1960, when the Company was closed.
