| Description: These auction catalogs document an extremely important collection of early American pressed and blown glass. This set of 3 hard cover books contains over 1800 lots, each lot with its own photograph (most in full color). Photography and layout are of very high quality. Includes the prices realized list. A lovely set to either just browse through or continue one's well rounded glass education. They are a definitive reference for all bottle and glass collectors that have any interest in early 19th century American pressed and blown glass such as Sandwich, Pittsburg, blown 3-mold, and rare pattern molded bottles. Out of print and difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. These books are used as a collector's standard for pricing and referencing. Set of 3 hard cover books.
Every bit as important a reference tool as the well known American Bottles and Flasks and their Ancestry by McKearin/Wilson. They will pay for themselves over and over. (PHOTO OF SOME OF MANY COLORED LOTS)
