Pilgrim Glass Co. was founded in 1949 when Alfred Knobler purchased the failing Tri State Glass Manufacturing Company in Huntington, West Virginia.  Knobler held a degree in ceramic engineering and had a flair for sales.  In 1956, he built the last Pilgrim Glass production facility, located several miles away in Ceredo, West Virginia.
Cranberry glass was introduced to the Pilgrim line in 1968
.
Although always popular, few glass manufacturers attempted this color, which involves an often temperamental combination of lead oxide and real gold. Over the years, cranberry glass had become the mainstay of Pilgrim’s business. Pilgrim Glass was the largest producer of cranberry glass in the world at one point.
