Fine Glossy Finish, criteria 1950's 1960's The American Olean Company merged the American Co. later in 1950's Interesting Reading...Brief History: The American Encaustic Tiling Co. (AET) formed in 1875 with their first plant in Zanesville Ohio. They greatly expanded their business by buying defunct tile manufacturers in Perth Amboy, New Jersey; Hermosa Beach, California & Vernon, California. The Depression hit hard and unlike GMB, they did not expand their product line into other ceramic items like Dinnerware, Pottery, etc. They went into bankruptcy in 1933 and the US Bankruptcy court assigned Malcolm Schweiker of Franklin Tile of Lansdale PA as trustee to sell off assets. Mr. Schweiker bought the NJ plant and assumed the stock market exchange name AET which was valuable. He continued to use the name for some time and later, after purchased Olean Tile in Olean NY, he changed the company name to American Olean. AET owned the trademark HERMOSA and when GMB purchased the Hermosa Beach plant, they continued to use the Hermosa name on their tiles until about 1962 when they merged with Lock Joint Pipe Co to form International Pipe & Ceramics Corp and later began to use the trademark Interpace.
