1880
In 1880, Prizer-Painter Stove Works, Inc. maker of BlueStar, began manufacturing a full line of residential and commercial coal ranges, hot water heaters, furnaces, and heating stoves at the company's factory in Reading, Pennsylvania. The handcrafted products were sold under many of the popular brands of the day, and many of those original models are still in service across America.

In the 1950s, Prizer also produced a full line of porcelain enamel cookware that was sold under the brand name Prizerware. Prizer continued to manufacture quality cooking ranges under the Prizer label, as well as for other high-end brands, and took a major step forward with the introduction of its advanced two-coat/one-fire enameling system.
