Cape Cod - (1931-1984) Cape Cod actually got its start in 1931, when the Quaker Oats Company contracted with Imperial to make a wafer stem as a give away in boxes of Quaker Oats. On March 22 of 1932 Cape Cod was patented by Earl W. Newton who designed the Cape Cod design. There are more then 100 pieces of the Cape Cod design. Most Cape Cod is crystal, but it can be found in other colors. The 1930s colors include Ruby, Ritz Blue (cobalt blue) and Amber. Other colors were produced in the 1960s. They include Antique Blue, Azalea, Amber and Verde Green. In 1969 and 1971 several different Cape Cod pieces were made in Amberglow and Azelia, Verde and Crystal. In 1974 and 1975 Amberglow became Sunshine Yellow. In the early to mid 60s a cigarette lighter was made in Black, Purple Slag, Ruby, and Milk Glass. Some White Milk Glass pieces such as the cookie jar have been found and are believed to have been made in the early 1950s. Imperial closed in 1984 and Cape Cod ceased to be produced.
