Albany Glass: Model Flint Glass Company of Albany, Indiana

Plot

This book boasts a little bit of everything, providing company history and all the pertinent information the author could find on each of Albany's patterns. Listed alphabetically from Ala-Bock through Ways' Beaded Swirl, a description of each pattern includes what types of pieces were made, when they were made, in what colors, and other definitive tidbits about the patterns. The descriptions are well illustrated by black and white drawings reprinted from the 1900-1902 National Glass Company's Export Catalogue, and advertisements from the Butler Brothers Spring 1902 catalog. Exquisite color photography, and sharper-than-life detail of crystal ware. Value guide included.
