Ray Cobel

Designer

Ray Cobel was born September 17, 1883 in Chalfant Ohio. In his early 20’s Ray came to Newark where he began his apprenticeship in the mould department of the American Bottle Co.

Ray began work at the A. H. Heisey & Co., Newark, OH., in 1912 as a “vice hand” in the mould shop under the supervision of John Sanford. A few years later he became an understudy to Mr. Sanford and was promoted to foreman of the mould shop, at the time of Mr. Sanford’s retirement.

His primary duty as foreman was to design foundry patterns and moulds for pressed and blown glassware. Ray usually preceded a mould drawing with a model of wood or plaster — usually a combination of wood lathe turning and hand carving. This model, at full scale, served many functions: to evaluate proportions, weight and capacity; to determine correct parting line location and degree of draft; and as a detailed guide for vice hand work. It also served as a means of judging aesthetic values. The item was usually approved (or disapproved) at this stage by Heisey management prior to any actual mould work.

In later years Ray’s responsibilities were broadened to include “trouble shooting” in all areas of the Heisey plant — an assignment which earned him the proud title of Master Mechanic. During his foremanship Ray was granted numerous design and mechanical patents which in turn were assigned to the A.H. Heisey Company.

Ray continued his work with the Company without interruption until May 1954, when at 71, he died unexpectedly following surgery at Newark Hospital.
