The Boston and Sandwich Glass Company was incorporated in 1826 to hold the glass factory built a year earlier in Sandwich, Massachusetts, by Deming Jarves. The factory was closed in 1888 amid disputes with a newly formed glassmakers' labor union.{{cite book|title=The Romance of Old Sandwich Glass |last=Chipman |first=Frank W.|year=1932|publisher=Sandwich Publishing Company Inc. |url=https://archive.org/details/romanceofoldsand027272mbp}}
