1935 – Interior & Exterior Use
10 Historically Documented Colors
The 1935 Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company brochure introduces Florhide Enamel, a durable linseed oil-based paint suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including floors, decks, trim, and woodwork. This enamel was formulated to provide long-lasting coverage with the gloss and depth expected of early 20th-century oil-based finishes.
The 10 colors offered reflect the period palette, featuring practical yet historically accurate tones appropriate for residential use.
For modern application, these gloss colors are offered in satin or semi-gloss. Customers may request eggshell for a softer, low-sheen finish by contacting us directly.
These colors are ideal for:
- Restoring 1930s-era homes and interiors
- Period-accurate floor, deck, and woodwork finishes
- Historic exteriors requiring durable and authentic color
Note: Original sheen levels are preserved as closely as possible. Gloss finishes are supplied in modern satin or semi-gloss.
