Description:

Bushwick Glass Works (aka Brookfield Glass Company) began as a bottle manufacturing operation in 1864. The factory site was located near the intersection of Grand Street and Morgan Avenue in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, New York. The production of electrical insulators rapidly increased in the late 1860's and 70's, until by the 1880s a large percentage of their glass production consisted of insulators for telegraph and telephone lines. The 1890s saw increasing production of insulators for (higher voltage) electrical power lines. The great majority of the insulators from the Brooklyn plant are found in a pale blue-aqua color. Insulators in shades of true green from this earlier period are considerably less common. Judging from the huge numbers still in existence, Brookfield was second only to the Hemingray Glass Company in the sheer number of insulators they manufactured.
