Thomas Dugan
was Harry Northwood's cousin. In 1904 Harry Northwood sold his Indiana, Pennsylvania plant to Thomas Dugan, and the Dugan Glass Company was born. The company changed hands in 1913 to become the Diamond Glass Company and remained thus until the factory burned to the ground in 1931. Diamond Glass continued many Dugan patterns, so attribution  is often listed as Dugan/Diamond. Just to add to the confusion regarding who made which pattern way back when, some number of molds used for Custard Glass production were left behind when Northwood sold his factory. Dugan used some of these molds for the production of Carnival Glass, both with and without the Northwood trademark removed.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that a
listed
item has no decernable post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s which, by today's standards were dirty and dangerous, and Quality Control did not exist:  air bubbles not squeezed out by hand-pressing; inclusions of ash from the furnace or debris  from dirty conditions;
strands of undissolved metallic salts used as colorant; lines called
straw marks where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint; marks from shaping tools used to form the edge or influence the shape; mould issues such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points; cooling issues such as
uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking; heat checks which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all Carnival Glass.
