(1 document case, 2 1/2 in.); (1 oversize folder, 17 leaves) ca. 1950-1984, undated Papers of Douglas Underkoffler, sales representative of Imperial Glass Corporation of Bellaire, Ohio. Underkoffler was, at one point, based out of Perkasie, Pennsylvania. Imperial became a subsidiary of Lenox in the 1970s before closing in 1984. Collection includes trade catalogs (1980-1983), price lists (1977-1982, undated), inventories (1982-1984), forms (ca. 1950-1984, undated), and advertisements. Trade catalogs include "Imperial Glass by Lenox," in color, with annotations that include prices (1980) and "Imperial Glass: An American Handcrafted Tradition," in color (1982-1983). Forms include order forms, promotional order forms, Return Authorization Agreements, New Account Data Sheets, and Credit Applications (1950s-1980s); most of the forms are blank. Advertisements include pamphlets, brochures, handbills, and mock-up advertisements. Highlights include handbills referencing Imperial's re-issue of Cambridge Glass Company's "Cambridge Arms" centerpieces (ca. 1960s-1970s), and materials relating to Imperial's production of glass for the Metropolitan Museum of Art (undated). The mock-up advertisements were meant to be given to retailers, who could use them to make store-specific newspaper ads for the sale of Imperial Glass items (1979, undated). Also includes corporate logo as it appeared on a shipping box (after it became part of Lenox). West Virginia and Regional History Center / West Virginia University / 1549 University Avenue / P.O.
