Franklin Flint Glass Works, owned by

Gillinder & Sons, was a company based in 

Philadelphia. The company started in 1861 and primarily manufactured lamp chimneys and bottles. 

In 1876, during the Centennial Exhibition, Gillinder & Sons built two new locations. The first was the Franklin Flint Works Decorating Plant on the corner of North Howard and Waterloo Streets in Philadelphia. Gillinder would continue to operate out of this building until 1914 and the historically designated building would stand well into the twenty-first century.

The second was near the entrance of the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition grounds. The attraction ran for six months, May through November, reportedly grossing nearly four million dollars and attracting over eight million visitors.
