The Rainbow Art
Company was first founded in 1940 by President J. Goudaker and
Vice President Henry P. Manus in Long Island City, New York.
Hand decorated Rainbow items were sold in every state as well as
in Canada, Mexico, South and Central America, British India, and
South America.
Rainbow was located in Huntington,
West Virginia from 1942 - 1973. They only decorated glass from
1942 - 1954.
Glass was purchased from other Glass Companies and
decorated with painting and staining among other
techniques. From 1954 - 1973 they made their own glass. In 1973
the company was sold to Viking glass. The factory burned in
1983. Many Rainbow items can be found with Viking stickers
showing that the Rainbow items were popular enough to continue
making for many years.
