- Preface
-
-It is not the purpose of the author in this volume to treat of the
-myriads of pressed glass dating from the centennial to the present day
-masquerading in shops as “Sandwich glass” and cluttering up the cabinets
-of the unwary collector only to be discarded later by those who have
-learned by comparison with the beautiful lacy specimens of early
-Sandwich that they have been led to acquire pieces of little beauty and
-less real value. It is of the period of Sandwich glass dating from the
-opening of the factory in 1825 by a handful of men, blowers of great
-physique, artists, and mold makers, some of whom started in the
-struggling “Parent Tree” factory of 1817, down to the period of greatest
-prosperity in 1853—that we are dealing with. These men put their best
-efforts into designs of intricate beauty. There is no comparison between
-their work and the later commercial pressed glass which took unto itself
-all the worst features of Victorian decoration and which was never found
-upon the tables of people of good taste, who turned from pressed glass
-to English cut during this latter period, or preserved with reverence
-and used on state occasions the pieces of a generation before. This late
-glass covered with stars and rosettes in ugly amber and blue and white
-became a tremendous advertising medium and was distributed as premiums
-and sold in quantity at very cheap prices. The author sees no object in
-collecting it to-day other than the commercializing of an unworthy
-product. The glass sheltered by the Mansard roof does not fit in with
-early Sandwich.

-
- _HISTORY_
- Forerunners of the Sandwich works—Evolution of the Industry
-
-
-In 1787 a factory was established on Essex Street, Boston by Whalley,
-Hunnewell and others for making crown window glass. This enterprise was
-not a success until 1803 when a German by the name of Lint arrived. From
-then on the factory became prosperous; the state paid a bounty and by
-1822 the glass had become famous and was known as Boston Window glass.
-This factory was given the exclusive right in their charter for a number
-of years.
-
-In 1811 they erected a larger and improved factory in South Boston, and
-sent to England for more blowers of window glass but could not get them
-on account of the war so they turned to using flint glass blowers,
-previously brought from Europe. This factory in South Boston was the
-“parent tree” of the Sandwich works. It failed in the thirties and
-started up again and failed many times but was running in 1854.
-
-Another Company was formed in 1811 called the Porcelain and Glass
-Manufacturing Company at East Cambridge but it failed in the production
-of both attempted products because of poor management. The plant was
-sold at auction November, 1817, and bought by a new company which called
-itself The New England Glass Company. This enterprise was successful
-from the beginning—in 1817, thus we see that some specimens of N. E. G.
-are of earlier date than Sandwich glass.
-
-Its capital of $40,000 in 1817 increased until in 1853 it was $500,000.
-The start was a six pot furnace with 700 pounds to each pot. Forty hands
-were employed and the yearly product was $40,000. In 1853 there were
-five furnaces with ten pots of 2,000 pounds each and 500 hands, and
-doing a business of $500,000. The author hopes that this may throw some
-light upon the incredulous amateur collector’s query of “Where does all
-the old glass come from?”
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SANDWICH GLASS WORKS_
-
-
-In 1825 a flint glass manufactory was established at Sandwich,
-Massachusetts. Building was started in April, and July 4th, 1825 they
-commenced blowing. It was purchased in 1826 by a new company calling
-itself The Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. The beginning was an 8 pot
-furnace—each pot holding 800 pounds and a yearly product of $75,000.
-There were at first 60 employees but by 1853 the capital was $400,000
-with weekly melts of 100,000 pounds—500 employees—four furnaces of 10
-pots producing yearly $600,000 worth of cup plates, lamps, dishes, salt
-cellars, etcetra.
-
-Deming Jarves, one of the incorporators of the Boston and Sandwich Glass
-Company, writes in 1854 as follows:
-
-“In 1825 a Flint Glass Manufactory was established by individual
-enterprise in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Ground was broke in April,
-dwellings for the workmen built and the manufactory completed; and on
-July 4, 1825 they commenced blowing glass, three months after first
-breaking ground.”
-
-In the early days of the factory the life of a glass blower was short
-due to the overheated glass houses but for twenty years prior to 1854 no
-employee of the Boston and Sandwich Company died or was seriously ill
-from his employment. The invention of the mold machine saved many lives.
-The pressing mold for glass was invented in 1827 by a workman named
-Robinson at the New England Glass Company but was later adopted and
-perfected by the Sandwich works.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _PRESSED GLASS_
-
-
-Pressed glass was many times reheated to a point sufficient to melt a
-thin surface layer—This was called “fire polishing.” It removed any
-roughness due to the process of molding and left a smooth bright
-surface.
-
-Flint glass—The name of flint glass was derived from the fact that in
-England flints were calcined and pulverized to make silica which is the
-main constituent of glass. The use of flint made the glass highly
-refractive and brilliant and oxide of lead which was also added
-increased it.
-
-As pressed glass was the main product of the Sandwich works the few
-blown specimens of the factory will be taken up by the author in a
-separate volume dealing with the blown pitchers, plates, flips, jars,
-and balls blown at Willington, Westford, New London, Stoddard,
-Lyndeboro, Keene, and Chelmsford.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _MOLDS_
-
-
-The mold machine invented by the New England Glass Works revolutionized
-the flint glass industry. By its use glass could be pressed into any
-shape.
-
-Glass in melted form is not malleable but its ductility is next to gold
-and by steady pressure can be forced into any shape. The mass blown
-against and into moulds was subjected to the stamp and penetrated the
-most delicate carvings. In places the early stippled specimens of
-Sandwich glass are only a thirty-second of an inch in thickness. The
-resulting sharpness of detail is wonderful.
-
-The reason that nothing remains of the early molds is accounted for by
-the fact that iron was a costly commodity even as late as 1825. Thrift
-was responsible for the success of our forefathers and the glass molds
-which were made of soft tin were melted and re-run as they became dull
-from usage. Original designs were destroyed as new patterns were
-evolved. With the invention of the stamping machine iron ladles were
-used to pour the glass into the mold. We are often puzzled to know why a
-pontil should appear on early specimens of “pressed” glass. This is
-because the earlier specimens were actually blown against and into the
-molds before the invention of mechanical pressure.
-
-Soft Slip, a clay used in making the old Connecticut slip ware dishes
-was run into a new mold. This proof showed any imperfections as well as
-supplying the works with a pattern for a new mold when necessary. These
-proofs were easily broken and of little use at the factory after a mold
-was discontinued.
-
-A poor impression was caused by a worn out mold or as in the case of the
-very early plates made by plungers before the stamp machine came into
-use, by insufficient contact with the mold. The rarest type of Bunker
-Hill cup plate illustrates this point.
-
-The carving of iron molds was called “Chipping” and mold chippers were
-responsible for the art of the finished product.
-
-When the New England Glass Company moved to Ohio in the Eighties
-thousands of iron molds were sold to junk dealers.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _COMPOSITION_
-
-
-Sandwich glass was made of silex, ash, nitre, pig lead, and other
-ingredients but the secret of the bright surface on old pressed glass, a
-characteristic which differentiates it from the modern pressed glass,
-was the use of barytes. This was introduced into the molten mass and
-gave the beautiful silver tint that we find in early glass. The New
-England Glass Company omitted this barytes from its glass with resulting
-dullness. Its specimens are all crude and heavy in comparison with the
-lacy examples of early Sandwich.

- _NOTES FOR COLLECTORS_
-
-
-1. A small pocket lens is invaluable in studying the designs on Sandwich
-glass.
-
-2. The mounting of specimens on black satine brings out a higher
-refractive quality of the glass than when mounted on velvet.
-
-3. Specimens that show signs of wear may be touched up and made
-brilliant by a slight application of the banana oil lacquer.
-
-4. “Rust” a term for the scum that rose to the surface of the pot and
-had to be thoroughly removed by skimming, often appears on specimens
-making them less valuable for collection. A weak solution of acid will
-improve the glass in such cases.
-
-Many interesting facts concerning Sandwich glass have been gained from
-contact with owners of inherited specimens in the remote districts of
-New England—in many cases the descendants of glass blowers whose
-knowledge is real, not based upon hearsay in going from shop to shop.
-
-The popular term “Snake-skin” refers to the resemblance of the stippled
-back ground in early Sandwich glass to the skin of a snake. I like the
-term Lace glass better as it more clearly conveys the delicacy of
-treatment. There was a later glass produced by the Sandwich works in
-1875 in order to meet the popular demand at less expense. This might
-well be called Snake-skin because the stippling is so merged that the
-term applies to it much more than to the fine early specimen. This glass
-was made in machine cut molds. There was more background than detail and
-the pieces were sold in cheap sets.
-
-Throughout this work the author has in every instance purposely omitted
-the question of values. The value of old things is not intrinsic. It is
-governed by the demand and not by set prices. Inestimable harm has been
-done unintentionally by popular magazine writers who have quoted prices
-forgetting that those who go far afield may pay to-day a large price for
-a piece that to-morrow they find for a song, thus evening up the
-collecting average. The mere quotation of a price means nothing to the
-real collector but it immediately plants in the minds of the uninitiated
-who do not discriminate between their treasures the idea that they can
-get the amount quoted and more next time and so the practice of
-“hoarding” and “pyramiding” is established. It begins with the farmer’s
-wife and does not stop with the dealer and collector until the modest
-collector becomes discouraged and his interest dies. To the very few who
-understand the joy of exchanging duplicate specimens regardless of value
-and of taking a small profit over what they pay thus enabling them to
-complete their collections in the spirit of olden days this book is
-dedicated.
-
-As the reproduction of blown glass is easier than pressed there is a
-certain joy in owning fine specimens of the latter. The field is too
-broad and the designs too intricate to tempt the modern mold maker. The
-machine product is too obviously regular and lacks the silvery
-brightness produced in old pressed glass by the use of barytes and the
-artistic technique of the hand made mold.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _CUP PLATES_
-
-
-In the days when our forefathers considered it quite correct to pour tea
-from the cup into the saucer and drink it from the latter the problem
-still remained of an unsightly ring upon the linen. Thus the cup plate
-was evolved in the first place from a purely utilitarian standpoint. It
-took the place of the modern coaster but later became a subject for
-“table talk” in the form of political and social reform. The thought and
-sentiment of the times were worked into the dainty molds and the
-resulting cup-plates became works of art.
-
-The first plates were crude and heavy but as time went on less glass was
-blown against the molds with greater force resulting in plates of
-brilliant stippling and delicacy. New designs were carved until in 1840,
-when the ship Constitution was about to be junked, to arouse public
-opinion one of the most exquisite octagon plates appeared—representing
-the highest art in Sandwich glass.
-
-The invention of the stamp machine increased the production and the
-little plates came away from the molds with clearer and sharper edges
-and brilliancy of detail. The first cup plates made were conventional or
-geometrical patterns. The author owns one one-half inch thick with
-pontil, a rare example of the first process.
-
-Previous to the period 1825-30 the dinner sets made in England for the
-American market included cup plates of china. During this time the
-conventional cup plates were first put out by the Sandwich Glass Works
-and soon gained such great popularity, due both to their beauty and
-their fitness with any china, that cup plates were generally omitted
-from dinner sets thereafter. People who could not afford entire dinner
-sets had previously gone without cup plates and the glass cup plate was
-an innovation.
-
-Distribution of their products was a great problem at the Sandwich
-works. Much glass found its way over the country by way of the tin
-peddlers cart. The finding of a number of specimens in the same locality
-to-day can often be traced back to a peddler who went out of business in
-that particular town—his wares to be rediscovered by a later generation.
-
-The author has in her cup plate collection a slipware “proof” of the
-ship Cadmus. This was the first run of a new mold and served as a
-pattern from which to take orders. The iron molds were too much in use
-to show to prospective buyers and the little glass plates themselves too
-fragile and hence the proof of red glazed clay served the double purpose
-of showing necessary corrections in a new mold and giving the company a
-“sample” cup plate. These proofs are very rare as they seldom got out of
-the hands of the factory and were destroyed as new patterns were created
-to take the place of the old.

- _BUNKER HILL GROUP_
-
-
-This series of four distinct designs was gotten out to commemorate the
-completion of the Bunker Hill monument. Three changes in the mold were
-made before the works were satisfied with the plate. The earliest is
-very rare.
-
- 12. Bunker Hill Monument on clear ground, three lines of inscription,
- outer line set off by rope in tassels, bricks in monument.
-

- larger circle around monument with one star above with bricks,
- rope border.
-
- Rare.

-
- _THE SHIP GROUP_
-
-
- 16. Cadmus—Small square rigged ship in circle of dots, border like
- plate No. 7. This plate is called the small Constitution by many
- as the ship is undoubtedly the same type of vessel but the plate
- was gotten out to represent the Cadmus, the ship which brought
- Lafayette to America in 1824, and shows the early cruder
- workmanship—See Camehl page 197.
-
- 17. The Constitution—Large square rigged ship in center, inner border
- type of No. 7, octagonal plate of exquisite workmanship. Note
- cover design of this book. This cup plate represents the acme of
- Sandwich glass designing. It was issued when feeling was running
- high against the probable “junking” of the Constitution in hopes
- that public opinion might change the fate of the old sailing
- vessel.
-
- Very Rare.
-
- 18. Pennsylvania steam boat-octagonal. This is the companion piece to
- the Constitution. The inner border varies in that it has four
- shields and scrolls in a background of horizontal lines. In
- popular magazine articles this boat has been called the Fulton
- but any one familiar with the old wood cuts of Robert Fulton’s
- steam boat will note that they do not bear the slight slightest
- resemblance to the boat on the cup-plate whereas it is the
- almost exact counter part of the side wheeler Pennsylvania that
- plied the Ohio River. Further Fulton’s boats had one mast for
- sailing in case of trouble.
-
-I refer my reader to the “Blue China Book,” by Camehl page 224, “City of
-Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Steam Boat,” by Clews, and to page 231, “Fulton
-Steam Boat” and ask them to draw their own conclusion. The political
-situation in regard to navigation on the Ohio River at this time has
-further bearing on the subject. A further note that will substantiate
-this claim is that in a careful check list of known specimens kept and
-much research work done along the lines of glass found in a given
-locality, the majority of these rare little octagonal cup plates and the
-still rarer large plates with the same ship in the center have come out
-of Pennsylvania, showing that the Pennsylvania Steam Boat would be
-likely to find a readier sale there than elsewhere. It appealed to the
-States pride as prior to the Civil War, States Rights were a much more
-prominent issue than later on.
-
- Very rare.
-

-
-[Illustration: PLATE IV]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 19. Chancellor Livingston—Auxiliary sailing vessel with paddle wheel,
- full rigged with flying jibs, American flag at stern, dotted
- waves, word “Chancellor” above and “Livingston” below ship on
- clear ground. Border two shields, two hearts, and four large
- stars on stippled ground. One of America’s first steamboats
- named after Robert Livingston, chancellor of New York State, a
- partner of Fulton in ship building.
-
- 20. Chancellor Livingston same as No. 19 but with stippled ropes.
-
- Uncommon.
-
- 21. Chancellor Livingston—With line waves and different arrangement of
- spars, an earlier design than No. 19.
-
- 22. Benjamin Franklin—Full rigged ship covering entire center of
- plate, flag inscribed B. F. at mast head. American flag at
- stern, stippled rigging and elaborate equipment. Border with
- spread eagle, four anchors, stars and scrolls.
-
- 23. The Maid of the Mist—Boat on rough water showing the Suspension
- Bridge at Niagara, the falls and sun above bridge. This
- cup-plate was issued in honor of the completion of the bridge
- across the Niagara River. A later plate but exceedingly rare. N.
- E. G.

-
- _THE HENRY CLAY GROUP_
-
-
- 24. Henry Clay with one star under small head in center facing left.
- Words “Henry Clay” in stippled circle around head. Thistle and
- medallion border.
-
- 25. Henry Clay with five stars,—a rare plate and one that easily
- escapes the notice of the collector who mistakes it for No. 25.
- Two of the stars are placed over the head and two outside the
- center circle, not in border.
-
- Rare.
-
- 26. Henry Clay with no name—A smaller head, than any of the others
- without inscription—uncommon but not rare, probably a mold
- superceded by No. 25.
-
- 27. Henry Clay facing right—A large head facing to the right, in inner
- circle of clear glass. Two laurel branches crossed and tied with
- ribbon to form a half wreath under portrait. Words HENRY CLAY in
- large letters above head, border of fine stippling with ten
- large fleurs de lis serrated edge. The author considers this the
- rarest cup plate in spite of the recent furor over the
- Washington, seven of the latter having turned up in Pennsylvania
- alone while it is a fortunate collector indeed who can boast of
- a perfect large head of Henry Clay facing right.
-
- 28. George Washington large head—octagonal, on background of rays,
- very rare. Laurel wreath at edge of border with tiny stars and
- scrolls at extreme edge. Much confusion has been occasioned by a
- six inch plate with small head of Washington in center.
- Inscription George Washington spelled backward. This is of
- course not the Washington cup plate although it is a rare
- specimen of Sandwich glass.
-
- 29. Major Ringgold—Large crude portrait, bust on clear ground, twelve
- sided serration. Inscriptions Ringgold left side of head—Palo
- Alto to right. Major Ringgold fell in battle at Palo Alto and
- was very popular at the time. This cup plate is very rare,—it
- pictures the hero of the Mexican war and is one of the crudest
- plates ever made. Specimens are seldom found in good condition.
- N. E. G. A.—Larger lettering and not twelve sided edge.

- _THE HARRISON GROUP_
-
-
-These plates as well as the Clay group were gotten out during the time
-that Harrison and Clay were running for president in 1840. His
-nomination was also responsible for the log cabin group which follows.
-Harrison was an old frontier woodsman and the log cabin was supposed to
-be typical of his rugged nature. Horace Greely edited a Whig newspaper
-at this time called “The Log Cabin.”
-
- 30. Head of Harrison on clear ground—Inscription “Maj. Gen. W. H.
- Harrison, Born Feb. 9, 1773” in circle around head, outer circle
- of 26 stars, rope border with blank labels above and below.

- with vine and acorns and inscription “Tippecanoe” above and “Wm.
- H. Harrison” below. This cup plate belongs equally in the
- Harrison group as it was a souvenir in the Harrison Campaign.
- All the log cabins were gotten out with this in view.
-
- Uncommon.
-
- 33. Log cabin with flag—Flower border, cider barrel, and tree. The
- cider barrel typified Harrison’s hospitality; no chimney on
- cabin.
-
- 34. Log cabin with flag—No barrel—Cabin fills entire center of
- plate—two windows—Top only of log chimney showing. Smaller flag
- than No. 33, plain border.

- _CONVENTIONAL CUP PLATES_
-
-
-It is impossible to describe fully the vast number of conventional cup
-plates but there are two in the author’s collection that do not fit into
-any group. One “A” has 26 large stars on a clear field. N. E. G. It is a
-very early plate and I like to call it “the States.” The other “C” is a
-later plate of which I do not know of a duplicate. The center is a
-feathered nine pointed star in octagon medallion and the border is a
-mother goose design with four children, four trees, a pig, and other
-nursery rhyme scenery. We illustrate these together with a rare slipware
-proof of the ship Cadmus “B”.

-
-Colored cup plates were issued in smaller numbers but were not found
-practical because of the expense connected with their manufacture. Many
-people considered them not in good taste for table use but the
-opalescent conventional plates were more popular. These have necessarily
-become rare and the collector who goes in for colored plates to any
-extent has a hard undertaking to make his series complete. A
-conventional plate popularly called “The Wheel of Fortune” seems to have
-been made in lovely shades of lavender, green, amber, mauve, and blue.
-
-Tints or “off-shades” are much sought after by collectors in cup plates.
-These color variations were produced by the chemical reaction of an
-over-dose of one of the ingredients in the mixture—a “mistake” in
-composition.
-
-Of the hundreds of conventional designs we have tried to illustrate only
-a few of the unusual and particularly lacy ones.
-
-The author illustrates 78 different cup plates, trusting that the reader
-will appreciate the effort made.

- _PRESSED GLASS SALTS_
-
-
-Many of the little salts used on our grandmothers’ tables reflected the
-political feeling of the times as did the cup plates, and in noting the
-following from the Sandwich works I am including a number of specimens
-which the New England Glass factory made in imitation of the Sandwich at
-the time. These will be marked N. E. G. in the text. These are heavier,
-less transparent, and are from molds crudely carved. The period is 1840.
-
-One salt has come to light marked Robinson & Son, Pittsburgh, Pa. It is
-a boat salt similar to the Lafayette boat made at Sandwich but shorter
-and broader. It is of clear glass of a later type. Blown glass salts
-will be taken up in a subsequent book by the author. The beautiful
-conventional designs produced by artists of the Sandwich Glass Company
-are so numerous and delicate in workmanship that we illustrate as many
-varieties as possible hoping that collectors of these charming little
-pieces will understand our purpose and forgive omissions of specimens
-that they hold dear. All salts shown are from the author’s collection
-and most of them are in pairs, but we show one only for reference. New
-varieties are being found daily adding to the fascination of collecting.
-The following types are worthy of note:
-
-All salts illustrated are in numerical sequence except those marked in
-the text “Not shown.”

-
- 12. Round with three alternate Cadmus ships and eagles—rare.
-
- 13. Four large eagles with feet on balls forming sides and base of

- _VICTORIAN ANIMALS_
-
-
-For the West Mustard Company about 1870 the Sandwich works made a number
-of designs consisting of chickens and other animals on nests of semi
-opaque white glass. Many of these had glass eyes and the less common
-ones found to-day are in colors, a remarkable blue predominating. These
-were filled with their products, labeled with a red and orange label and
-sold to the public destined later to become useful receptacles. Many
-collectors of these objects confuse the marbled glass which comes in
-mauve and white and ocre and white in many designs similar to the above
-with the Sandwich of this late period. This marbled glass in Whieldon
-effects was made at Phoenixville, Pa., and may be put in the same class
-as the advertising of the West Mustard Co. During this last period of
-the Sandwich Glass Works their products became cheapened to meet the
-demand of commercial advertising and an endless number of cheap glass
-premiums were sent out to all parts of the country in the era just
-preceding the soap wrapper and the patent medicine man.
-
-An interesting bit of information in regard to the opalescent edges
-often found on pieces of Victorian glass is that this opalescence was
-produced by re-heating the edges to a dull red heat after it was molded.
-
-The pattern for the opaque glass chickens was inspired by the early
-Staffordshire hens. This has led many to believe that the former were
-made in England but they are decidedly a late Sandwich product made of
-the same composition as many of the lamps and candlesticks. The author
-has found nests bearing the original orange and red labels of the West
-Mustard Company.
-
- 1. Opaque white chickens large and small.
-
- 2. Opaque all blue chickens large and small.
-
- 3. Opaque blue and white roosters.
-
- 4. Pair opaque dark purple chickens.
-
- 5. Opaque white owl quite opalescent at edges.
-
- 6. Opaque blue and white cats.
-
- 7. Opaque blue and white dogs.
-
- 8. Opaque white squirrel.
-
- 9. Opaque white rabbit.
-
- 10. Opaque white duck.
-
- 11. Baskets in blue and white.
-
- 12. Chickens in clear white, transparent blue and amber glass—rare.
-
-In this group are steamboats, sleighs, Uncle Sam, and various political
-objects, all of which are uninteresting and not worthy of collection.
-Little glass bears were made for a concern promoting bear ointment.
-Heads of these jars have been dug up at the Sandwich works. Complete
-ones are hard to find.

- CANDLESTICKS
- _HOW TO TELL OLD STICKS FROM NEW_
-
-
-1. Genuine old glass candlesticks were always molded in two sections and
-fused together. This fusing section varies from one-sixteenth to
-one-quarter inch in thickness and is irregular on different sides of the
-same stick. This is an absolute test and never fails.
-
-2. If you will examine the mold seams along the side of the stick you
-will find that where the sections are joined the perpendicular line is
-not continuous. The seam may be in line on one side but turn the stick
-and you will find the rule holds good. This is because in fusing the
-parts by hand they were slightly rotated and it was impossible to keep
-the mold seams in a straight line. Also the old hand carved molds varied
-slightly in size so that no two tops and bottoms were exactly alike. The
-modern glass candlestick is molded in one section released from machine
-made molds and the side line is continuous from top to bottom. This test
-should be applied to all the colored glass sticks of the hollow base
-type that are appearing. The earlier sticks with scarred bases have not
-been imitated except in shapes never found in old glass. Reproductions
-of blown glass will be taken up by the author in another book.
-
-3. The collector of American glassware finds a very handsome type of
-candlestick with blown bobèche top and molded base. It is safe to say
-that these tops were imported from England for use at the Sandwich
-works. They are only found on the most expensive sticks of the period,
-and are identical with English candlesticks of the same time, except for
-the typical Sandwich pedestal and base, fused to the blown bobèche. We
-know that elaborate lamp bowls were imported and combined with Sandwich
-glass bases and later joined with brass standards to marble bases, thus
-it is safe to assume that many of the elaborate candlesticks are in part
-of similar origin.

- Pale Lavender
- Combination Blue and White
- Purple
- Blue
- Green
- Vaselene Yellow

-
- C. Petal top, round base.
-
-2. Plain top and base varying heights, and colors. This is the commonest

-demand for ornaments at this time was not as great as for practical
-commodities. See illustration in upper right hand corner.

- _THE DOLPHIN GROUP_
-
-
-The Dolphin Candlesticks are found in seven distinct types. The single
-base usually has two scars near the hollow base of the Dolphin showing
-the earliest form of ejection from the mold, a kind of modified pontil.
-The single base Dolphins while not as delicate in modelling and design
-are decidedly earlier and much rarer than the double base. The head of
-the Dolphin is hollow for a greater distance than in the double base
-sticks showing that these earlier forms were blown into the molds before
-the stamp machine was in common use. There is also a sunken bobash of
-glass not found in the double base types.
-
-Type 6 and 7 is mentioned by the author with reluctance as it is of
-Victorian origin. The little pentagonal base stick type 5 is dainty and
-well molded but the bell shaped Dolphin is ornate and of less value to
-collectors. The dishes on Dolphin standards with opalescent edges are of
-this period also and mentioned only to make this work complete.
-
-Type 1. single base 1840
-
- a. Clear white.

- _WHALE OIL LAMPS_
- Period of 1850
-
-
-A burner was invented consisting of two tin tubes soldered to a brass or
-pewter screw cap. This took the place of the single tube of the earlier
-lamps and gave a double flame. It was adaptable to use in lamps of
-ornamental glass and the enterprising Sandwich factory at once started
-the manufacture of pressed glass lamps to meet the demand.
-
-The earliest type was in clear glass. Later more elaborate and costly
-forms were introduced and a blown receptacle for the oil fused to a
-molded base often had a beautiful blown center section. The patterns in
-these old lamps are endless. Etched and cut tops were imported and fused
-to Sandwich bases at the factory. The Victorian era brought in a demand
-for two color combinations and opaque glass lamps. We stop at the
-introduction of marble bases as they are very much later and the bowls
-for many of these lamps were foreign. No attempt has been made to
-illustrate all specimens, a few of the more decorative being chosen.
-With the early lamps no shade was used and the flickering flame of the
-spirit tubes gave little better light than candles but it saved the
-housewife the endless dipping and molding. The wick had to be constantly
-picked through the small opening at the side of the burner as it burned
-down. The fluid used was camphine. This is proof alone that no shade was
-used. The glass shades came into use with the “boudoir burner” which
-took a flat wick through a round opening patented by E. M. & Company in
-1865. At this time people fitted the earlier lamp with these burners and
-substituted a new fluid for the earlier whale oil and camphine. We
-illustrate a very rare lamp of clear white glass with Dolphin standard
-in the Dolphin group.
-
- Type 1. New England Glass Works, blown top, molded four sided base
- column at end, baskets of fruit on each side, lions’ heads at
- corners, a very early and rare lamp.
-
- Type 2. Fluted overlaid molded howl, four sided base with two steps
- with fluted Colonial Column joining base and bowl. Colors
- similar to Type 6.
-
- Type 3. Shows a lamp of rare design. The quality of the glass in the
- fragile scrolled base with lion’s claw feet is very early, and
- the frosted blown bowl of great delicacy. Lamps are seldom found
- of this type which closely resembles the flatware of the first
- period.
-
- Type 4. Was a costlier product. It was fused in three parts and
- included a bulbous blown center section and cutting was often
- introduced on the bowl.
-
- Type 5. The most popular inexpensive lamp of the period was a molded
- lamp in various designs, clear glass hearts, lyres, diamonds,
- bulls eye, and hob nail patterns appealing to the public. The
- molds were heavily grouved and fine stippling was avoided
- because this caused greater tendency to breakage which was
- undesirable in anything containing inflammable material.
-
- Type 6. Fluted over laid molded bowl, six sided base, clear white.
-
- a. Blue.
-
- b. Green.
-
- c. Purple.
-
- d. Vaselene.
-
- e. Opalescent white.
-
- f. Opalescent blue top, white base.
-
- g. Opalescent jade green top, white base.
-
- h. All jade green, very rare.
-
- i. Opalescent white top, blue base.

- _FLAT WARE OF THE EARLY PERIOD_
- 1835-1849
-
-
-The author believes there were made during the first period many large
-dishes for table use to match the cup plates. These are necessarily rare
-as such objects were more expensive and more liable to breakage. To
-illustrate we have given specimens the additional designation of C when
-there is a cup plate of corresponding design and have affixed the
-measurements. The following dishes are rare and have in every instance
-been collected by the author from their original sources.
-
- 1. Washington, 6 inch plate—C—inscription. “George Washington” spelled
- backwards.
-
- A. Same without head medallion center—See No. 13.
-
- 2. Heart border plate, N. E. G., 7 inch—C.
-
- A. Compote on stand.
-
- Not illustrated.
-
- 3. Oblong dish with large lyres in four comers 9 inches—C.
-
- 4. Heart border, deep dish, N. E. G., 7½ inches—C.
-
- 5. Octagon dish, large American eagle and 13 stars in center—6
- inch—rare—C.
-
- A. 8 inch dish same—rare.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXI]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 6. Octagon dish, 9 inch, bee hives in conventional center design with
- bees, often called “strawberry pattern” but upon examination the
- bees and bee hives are very distinct. This plate, 10 inch, was
- very popular and since the furor for collecting pressed glass
- numbers have come to light. It represents very beautiful
- designing and was in all likelihood sold as a cake plate. There
- are four large stars with four thistles around the bee hives in
- the center design.
-
- 7. Octagon dish, 7 inch, C, with the ship “Constitution” in the center
- and the word “Union” below, typifying a union sentiment against
- the junking of “old ironsides.” One of the rarest pieces of
- early Sandwich glass in existence.
-
- 8. Octagon Dish, 7 inch, C, Pennsylvania Steamboat in center.
- Companion piece to No. 7, very rare.
-
-All the above large dishes match cup plates and must have been made for
-the most fastidious housewives of the period with that particular object
-in view.
-
- 9. Round plate, 8 inch, peacock feather border, three thistles and
- beautifully feathered scrolls in center.
-
- 10. Round deep dish, 8 inch, border of scrolls and twelve thistles.
- Center twenty rope circles with six pointed flowers two thistles
- on back ground and fine stippling.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXII]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 11. Compote on standard with waterfall base—7½ inch, very rare. A. Top
- view of same piece.
-
- 12. Deep dish, oval, grouved corners, 6 x 8, very rare. All-over
- design of great delicacy. I consider this dish, which is one of
- a pair, made for a special order in 1839, one of the finest
- specimens ever produced in Sandwich glass. The detail of design
- is marvelous and the shape necessitated an eight grouved mold.
-
- 13, 14C, 15, 16C are 6 inch plates two of which have cup plates to
- match.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXIII]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 17, 18, 19, 20 are 6½ inch deep dishes. 20 being the sun flower design
- familiar in cup plates.
-
- 21, 22 are tray shaped dishes of great brilliancy.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXIV]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 23, 24, 25, 26 are sauce dishes, period 1839.
-
- 27. Harp and grape center and 28, grape border, conventional center,
- are Toddy glass plates mentioned as a type of large cup plate
- and very much sought after by collectors.
-
- A. The grape eagle, blue, in this size is very rare.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXV]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 29. Presentation piece, Crown above, three feathers and motto—“Ich
- Dien.”—This is the badge on the Coat of Arms of the Prince of
- Wales and was made at the time of the visit of the late Edward
- VII to the U. S. in 1860.
-
- 30. Presentation piece, Gladstone, “For the Million” Imitation of
- English pressing. Made for the Canadian market.
-
- 31. Early Sandwich creamer rare.
-
- A. Opalescent.
-
- 32. Covered sweet meat jar or sugar bowl, eight sided. Gothic
- treatment.
-
- A. Blue.
- B. Purple.
- C. Opalescent.
-
- 33. Eight sided Jam dish, 5 inch, rose and thistle clear inset in
- corners. Rose and thistle in panels of border and is beautifully
- carried out in the center.
-
- 34. Jam dish, 4½ inch, deeply fluted.
-
-A great number of 4 inch plates were made and these are becoming very
-popular with collectors. These may have been “toddy plates” a large cup
-plate made for use with flips as many in the author’s collection bear
-signs of frictional wear.
-
-Small slightly concave dishes resembling cup plates were made for “best
-jam” or honey. The patterns in these dishes were not in the finest
-designs. They were too small to be popular and larger sauce dishes were
-first made at the works about 1839. The covered sweet meat jars later
-used for sugar were rare (see illustration) and a really early Sandwich
-cream pitcher is the delight of the collector.
-
-Sugar bowls and creamers were made in clear white, blue, opalescent, and
-purple glass. Not many of the colored ones have survived hard usage and
-the white many sided bowls with covers are getting very difficult to
-find.
-
-Little toy pieces were made at the works in the early period such as
-covered tureens, tiny plates and platters, dolls’ cream pitchers, etc.
-These are not illustrated as the detail is too fine to be of value.
-

-
-[Illustration: PLATE XXVI]
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _“PETALLED AND LOOPED” PATTERN CLEAR WHITE SANDWICH GLASS PERIOD 1830_
-
-
-The author has a collection of nearly thirty pieces in this design, many
-of the pieces being pontil marked. This pattern matched the candle
-sticks of type 1.
-
-Some few pieces have been found in this pattern in vaselene yellow and
-purple. The secret of yellow glass was conveyed to the Sandwich factory
-by a workman from Bristol, England. The process was too costly to admit
-of the manufacture of many pieces in this color. Some lovely scent
-bottles were made, lamps, vases and candle sticks and the author has a
-pair of rare salts on standards. We refer of course to the earlier
-pieces as Victorian yellow glass is found in abundance.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
- _PRESENTATION PIECES_
-
-
-For special occasions the Sandwich works got out dishes to be presented
-as souvenirs. These show special designing and are exceedingly rare. We
-illustrate a piece issued for the Prince of Wales’ visit to America.
-Also a piece known to have been made at Sandwich in simulated English
-design with words “Gladstone” and “For The Million,” thistle center.
-
-The “Victoria” plate, 7 inch, shows the head of the young Queen—in size
-like George Washington’s head in the Washington cup plate—with
-“Victoria” above and with a beautifully stippled lace border of the
-early period. An exquisite and rare plate.
-
- Not illustrated.
-
-No mention is made in this volume of the endless President Garfield,
-railroad trains, puss in boots, and Venus designs whose name is Legion
-and without whose presence the cabinet of the true collector will not
-suffer, such pieces looking entirely out of place on the shelves with
-early Sandwich.
-
-As personalities are painful to the collector I have tried to refrain
-from them in this volume, trusting that those who have something to add
-or subtract from my text will do so in a kindly spirit. We as Americans
-are too prone to make our collections general. We seek quantity rather
-than quality and the author is a believer in elimination. The following
-are a few suggestions for the amateur collector:
-
-1. Don’t think you have the best collection until you have seen others.
-
-2. Don’t think that money can buy the best specimens, courtesy and
-patience can buy better.
-
-3. In collecting old glass he who “hesitates” has lost it to his
-neighbor.
-
-4. Don’t believe all you hear—investigate.
-
-5. Don’t collect EARLY “WOOLWORTH.”
-
-6. Don’t let envy keep you from enjoying and studying another’s
-collection.
-
-7. Don’t tell everybody what you are looking for, a rival collector is
-born every minute.
-
-8. Don’t seek numbers of specimens, seek fine workmanship.
-
-9. Don’t call everything that you cannot classify Canadian, English, or
-Spanish. Comparison of specimens and time will change your opinion.
-
-10. Don’t quote prices for by so doing the market is ruined for both
-dealer and collector. The value is according to what you pay and
-to-morrow you may obtain the same piece for more or less.
-
-11. Don’t keep your glass in a dark cup-board done up in paper. Let
-others enjoy the fruits of your labor.
-
-12. Considering that everyone’s taste is not alike “an unfair exchange
-is no robbery.”
-
-13. Don’t say a thing is “very rare” or “very common” remembering that
-what is rare in Pennsylvania may be common in Massachusetts. Most
-antiques depend upon locality for their rarity and your opinion may be
-very local.
-
-14. Don’t subject old glass to very hot or very cold water in washing.
-Early Sandwich is subject to atmospheric conditions. Sudden changes of
-heat and cold will cause cracks.
-
-15. Last and not least, don’t “hoard”; give the other collector a
-chance. By exchange and sale of specimens you will improve your own
-collection and if you help some one else to get what he wants it will
-come back to you ten fold in unexpected moments. An old house, old glass
-and old friends is a combination worth living for.

-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit http://pglaf.org
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

- <div>Transcriber’s Note</div>
- </div>
-</div>
-
- <ul class='ul_1'>
- <li>Obvious punctuation and spelling errors corrected.
- </li>
- <li>Original variations in spelling retained, e.g. cup plates/cup-plates, candle
- sticks/candlesticks, slip ware/slipware.
- </li>
- <li>The Collector’s Data section that begins on page 97 in the original ran for four full
- pages, presumably to give the readers space to make their own notes. The amount of blank
- space has been reduced here, and the repeating headers consolidated to a single one.
- </li>
- <li>There is a “2” at the top of page 65 in the original which has been retained, though
- it may be a misprint. Similar numbers may be found on the Plates and it’s possible this 2
- belongs on Plate XVII on page 68.
- </li>
- <li>Another copy of the original text in the Princeton Library includes a typewritten
- correction on page 13. The author and date of the correction is unclear, but reads ‘Page
- 12, paragraph 3. The words “SOFT TIN” is a misprint and should be “IRON.”’
- </li>
- <li>The numbers and letters around the side of the illustrations correspond to numbered
- items in the text. Numbers in the text link to the illustration including that item.
- Illustrations of collector items link to larger versions when clicked on.

-acquire pieces of little beauty and less real value. It is
-of the period of Sandwich glass dating from the opening
-of the factory in 1825 by a handful of men, blowers
-of great physique, artists, and mold makers, some of
-whom started in the struggling “Parent Tree” factory
-of 1817, down to the period of greatest prosperity in
-1853—that we are dealing with. These men put their
-best efforts into designs of intricate beauty. There is
-no comparison between their work and the later commercial
-pressed glass which took unto itself all the worst
-features of Victorian decoration and which was never
-found upon the tables of people of good taste, who
-turned from pressed glass to English cut during this
-latter period, or preserved with reverence and used on
-state occasions the pieces of a generation before. This
-late glass covered with stars and rosettes in ugly amber
-and blue and white became a tremendous advertising
-medium and was distributed as premiums and sold in
-quantity at very cheap prices. The author sees no object
-in collecting it to-day other than the commercializing
-of an unworthy product. The glass sheltered by the
-Mansard roof does not fit in with early Sandwich.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1787 a factory was established on Essex Street,
-Boston by Whalley, Hunnewell and others for making
-crown window glass. This enterprise was not a success
-until 1803 when a German by the name of Lint arrived.
-From then on the factory became prosperous; the state
-paid a bounty and by 1822 the glass had become
-famous and was known as Boston Window glass. This
-factory was given the exclusive right in their charter
-for a number of years.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>In 1811 they erected a larger and improved factory
-in South Boston, and sent to England for more blowers
-of window glass but could not get them on account
-of the war so they turned to using flint glass blowers,
-previously brought from Europe. This factory in
-South Boston was the “parent tree” of the Sandwich
-works. It failed in the thirties and started
-up again and failed many times but was running in
-1854.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Another Company was formed in 1811 called the
-Porcelain and Glass Manufacturing Company at East
-Cambridge but it failed in the production of both attempted
-products because of poor management. The
-plant was sold at auction November, 1817, and bought
-by a new company which called itself The New England
-Glass Company. This enterprise was successful
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>from the beginning—in 1817, thus we see that some
-specimens of N. E. G. are of earlier date than Sandwich
-glass.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Its capital of $40,000 in 1817 increased until in
-1853 it was $500,000. The start was a six pot furnace
-with 700 pounds to each pot. Forty hands were employed
-and the yearly product was $40,000. In 1853
-there were five furnaces with ten pots of 2,000 pounds
-each and 500 hands, and doing a business of $500,000.
-The author hopes that this may throw some light upon
-the incredulous amateur collector’s query of “Where
-does all the old glass come from?”</p>

- <h2 class='c004'><i>ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SANDWICH GLASS WORKS</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1825 a flint glass manufactory was established at
-Sandwich, Massachusetts. Building was started in
-April, and July 4th, 1825 they commenced blowing. It
-was purchased in 1826 by a new company calling itself
-The Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. The beginning
-was an 8 pot furnace—each pot holding 800 pounds
-and a yearly product of $75,000. There were at first 60
-employees but by 1853 the capital was $400,000 with
-weekly melts of 100,000 pounds—500 employees—four
-furnaces of 10 pots producing yearly $600,000 worth of
-cup plates, lamps, dishes, salt cellars, etcetra.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Deming Jarves, one of the incorporators of the
-Boston and Sandwich Glass Company, writes in 1854
-as follows:</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>“In 1825 a Flint Glass Manufactory was established
-by individual enterprise in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
-Ground was broke in April, dwellings for the workmen
-built and the manufactory completed; and on July 4,
-1825 they commenced blowing glass, three months after
-first breaking ground.”</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>In the early days of the factory the life of a glass
-blower was short due to the overheated glass houses but
-for twenty years prior to 1854 no employee of the Boston
-and Sandwich Company died or was seriously ill from
-his employment. The invention of the mold machine
-saved many lives. The pressing mold for glass was invented
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_10'>10</span>in 1827 by a workman named Robinson at the
-New England Glass Company but was later adopted
-and perfected by the Sandwich works.</p>

- <h2 id='PG' class='c004'><i>PRESSED GLASS</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>Pressed glass was many times reheated to a point
-sufficient to melt a thin surface layer—This was called
-“fire polishing.” It removed any roughness due to the
-process of molding and left a smooth bright surface.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Flint glass—The name of flint glass was derived
-from the fact that in England flints were calcined and
-pulverized to make silica which is the main constituent of
-glass. The use of flint made the glass highly refractive
-and brilliant and oxide of lead which was also added
-increased it.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>As pressed glass was the main product of the Sandwich
-works the few blown specimens of the factory will
-be taken up by the author in a separate volume dealing
-with the blown pitchers, plates, flips, jars, and balls
-blown at Willington, Westford, New London, Stoddard,
-Lyndeboro, Keene, and Chelmsford.</p>

- <h2 id='MOLD' class='c004'><i>MOLDS</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>The mold machine invented by the New England
-Glass Works revolutionized the flint glass industry. By
-its use glass could be pressed into any shape.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Glass in melted form is not malleable but its
-ductility is next to gold and by steady pressure can be
-forced into any shape. The mass blown against and
-into moulds was subjected to the stamp and penetrated
-the most delicate carvings. In places the early stippled
-specimens of Sandwich glass are only a thirty-second of
-an inch in thickness. The resulting sharpness of detail
-is wonderful.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The reason that nothing remains of the early molds
-is accounted for by the fact that iron was a costly commodity
-even as late as 1825. Thrift was responsible for
-the success of our forefathers and the glass molds which
-were made of soft tin were melted and re-run as they
-became dull from usage. Original designs were destroyed
-as new patterns were evolved. With the invention
-of the stamping machine iron ladles were used to
-pour the glass into the mold. We are often puzzled to
-know why a pontil should appear on early specimens of
-“pressed” glass. This is because the earlier specimens
-were actually blown against and into the molds before
-the invention of mechanical pressure.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Soft Slip, a clay used in making the old Connecticut
-slip ware dishes was run into a new mold. This proof
-showed any imperfections as well as supplying the works
-with a pattern for a new mold when necessary. These
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>proofs were easily broken and of little use at the factory
-after a mold was discontinued.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>A poor impression was caused by a worn out mold
-or as in the case of the very early plates made by plungers
-before the stamp machine came into use, by insufficient
-contact with the mold. The rarest type of Bunker
-Hill cup plate illustrates this point.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The carving of iron molds was called “Chipping”
-and mold chippers were responsible for the art of the
-finished product.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>When the New England Glass Company moved
-to Ohio in the Eighties thousands of iron molds were
-sold to junk dealers.</p>

- <h2 id='COMP' class='c004'><i>COMPOSITION</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>Sandwich glass was made of silex, ash, nitre, pig
-lead, and other ingredients but the secret of the bright
-surface on old pressed glass, a characteristic which differentiates
-it from the modern pressed glass, was the use
-of barytes. This was introduced into the molten mass
-and gave the beautiful silver tint that we find in early
-glass. The New England Glass Company omitted this
-barytes from its glass with resulting dullness. Its specimens
-are all crude and heavy in comparison with the
-lacy examples of early Sandwich.</p>

- <h2 id='NOTE' class='c004'><i>NOTES FOR COLLECTORS</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c009'>1. A small pocket lens is invaluable in studying the
-designs on Sandwich glass.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>2. The mounting of specimens on black satine brings
-out a higher refractive quality of the glass than when
-mounted on velvet.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>3. Specimens that show signs of wear may be touched
-up and made brilliant by a slight application of the
-banana oil lacquer.</p>
-
-<p class='c010'>4. “Rust” a term for the scum that rose to the surface
-of the pot and had to be thoroughly removed by skimming,
-often appears on specimens making them less valuable
-for collection. A weak solution of acid will improve
-the glass in such cases.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Many interesting facts concerning Sandwich glass
-have been gained from contact with owners of inherited
-specimens in the remote districts of New England—in
-many cases the descendants of glass blowers whose
-knowledge is real, not based upon hearsay in going from
-shop to shop.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The popular term “Snake-skin” refers to the resemblance
-of the stippled back ground in early Sandwich
-glass to the skin of a snake. I like the term Lace glass
-better as it more clearly conveys the delicacy of treatment.
-There was a later glass produced by the Sandwich
-works in 1875 in order to meet the popular demand
-at less expense. This might well be called Snake-skin
-because the stippling is so merged that the term applies
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>to it much more than to the fine early specimen. This
-glass was made in machine cut molds. There was more
-background than detail and the pieces were sold in
-cheap sets.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Throughout this work the author has in every instance
-purposely omitted the question of values. The
-value of old things is not intrinsic. It is governed by the
-demand and not by set prices. Inestimable harm has
-been done unintentionally by popular magazine writers
-who have quoted prices forgetting that those who go far
-afield may pay to-day a large price for a piece that to-morrow
-they find for a song, thus evening up the collecting
-average. The mere quotation of a price means
-nothing to the real collector but it immediately plants
-in the minds of the uninitiated who do not discriminate
-between their treasures the idea that they can get the
-amount quoted and more next time and so the practice of
-“hoarding” and “pyramiding” is established. It begins
-with the farmer’s wife and does not stop with the dealer
-and collector until the modest collector becomes discouraged
-and his interest dies. To the very few who understand
-the joy of exchanging duplicate specimens regardless
-of value and of taking a small profit over what they
-pay thus enabling them to complete their collections in
-the spirit of olden days this book is dedicated.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>As the reproduction of blown glass is easier than
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>pressed there is a certain joy in owning fine specimens
-of the latter. The field is too broad and the designs too
-intricate to tempt the modern mold maker. The machine
-product is too obviously regular and lacks the silvery
-brightness produced in old pressed glass by the use
-of barytes and the artistic technique of the hand made
-mold.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='drop-capa0_2_0_7 c011'>In the days when our forefathers considered it quite
-correct to pour tea from the cup into the saucer and
-drink it from the latter the problem still remained of
-an unsightly ring upon the linen. Thus the cup plate
-was evolved in the first place from a purely utilitarian
-standpoint. It took the place of the modern coaster but
-later became a subject for “table talk” in the form of
-political and social reform. The thought and sentiment
-of the times were worked into the dainty molds and the
-resulting cup-plates became works of art.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The first plates were crude and heavy but as time
-went on less glass was blown against the molds with
-greater force resulting in plates of brilliant stippling
-and delicacy. New designs were carved until in 1840,
-when the ship Constitution was about to be junked, to
-arouse public opinion one of the most exquisite octagon
-plates appeared—representing the highest art in Sandwich
-glass.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The invention of the stamp machine increased the
-production and the little plates came away from the
-molds with clearer and sharper edges and brilliancy of
-detail. The first cup plates made were conventional or
-geometrical patterns. The author owns one one-half
-inch thick with pontil, a rare example of the first process.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Previous to the period 1825-30 the dinner sets made
-in England for the American market included cup plates
-of china. During this time the conventional cup plates
-were first put out by the Sandwich Glass Works and
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_19'>19</span>soon gained such great popularity, due both to their
-beauty and their fitness with any china, that cup plates
-were generally omitted from dinner sets thereafter.
-People who could not afford entire dinner sets had previously
-gone without cup plates and the glass cup plate
-was an innovation.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Distribution of their products was a great problem
-at the Sandwich works. Much glass found its way over
-the country by way of the tin peddlers cart. The finding
-of a number of specimens in the same locality to-day
-can often be traced back to a peddler who went out of
-business in that particular town—his wares to be rediscovered
-by a later generation.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The author has in her cup plate collection a slipware
-“proof” of the ship Cadmus. This was the first run
-of a new mold and served as a pattern from which to
-take orders. The iron molds were too much in use to show
-to prospective buyers and the little glass plates themselves
-too fragile and hence the proof of red glazed clay
-served the double purpose of showing necessary corrections
-in a new mold and giving the company a “sample”
-cup plate. These proofs are very rare as they seldom
-got out of the hands of the factory and were destroyed
-as new patterns were created to take the place of the
-old.</p>

-<p class='c008'>One salt has come to light marked Robinson &amp;

-and delicate in workmanship that we illustrate as

-charming little pieces will understand our purpose and
-forgive omissions of specimens that they hold dear. All

-</div>
-
-<p class='drop-capa0_2_0_7 c011'>For the West Mustard Company about 1870 the
-Sandwich works made a number of designs consisting
-of chickens and other animals on nests of
-semi opaque white glass. Many of these had glass eyes
-and the less common ones found to-day are in colors, a
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_64'>64</span>remarkable blue predominating. These were filled with
-their products, labeled with a red and orange label and
-sold to the public destined later to become useful receptacles.
-Many collectors of these objects confuse the
-marbled glass which comes in mauve and white and ocre
-and white in many designs similar to the above with the
-Sandwich of this late period. This marbled glass in
-Whieldon effects was made at Phoenixville, Pa., and
-may be put in the same class as the advertising of the
-West Mustard Co. During this last period of the Sandwich
-Glass Works their products became cheapened to
-meet the demand of commercial advertising and an endless
-number of cheap glass premiums were sent out
-to all parts of the country in the era just preceding the
-soap wrapper and the patent medicine man.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>An interesting bit of information in regard to the
-opalescent edges often found on pieces of Victorian glass
-is that this opalescence was produced by re-heating the
-edges to a dull red heat after it was molded.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The pattern for the opaque glass chickens was inspired
-by the early Staffordshire hens. This has led
-many to believe that the former were made in England
-but they are decidedly a late Sandwich product made
-of the same composition as many of the lamps and candlesticks.
-The author has found nests bearing the original
-orange and red labels of the West Mustard Company.</p>

- <h2 id='CS' class='c004'>CANDLESTICKS <br /> <i>HOW TO TELL OLD STICKS FROM NEW</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>1. Genuine old glass candlesticks were always molded
-in two sections and fused together. This fusing section
-varies from one-sixteenth to one-quarter inch in thickness
-and is irregular on different sides of the same stick.
-This is an absolute test and never fails.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>2. If you will examine the mold seams along the side of
-the stick you will find that where the sections are joined
-the perpendicular line is not continuous. The seam
-may be in line on one side but turn the stick and you
-will find the rule holds good. This is because in fusing
-the parts by hand they were slightly rotated and it was
-impossible to keep the mold seams in a straight line.
-Also the old hand carved molds varied slightly in size so
-that no two tops and bottoms were exactly alike. The
-modern glass candlestick is molded in one section
-released from machine made molds and the side line
-is continuous from top to bottom. This test should be
-applied to all the colored glass sticks of the hollow base
-type that are appearing. The earlier sticks with scarred
-bases have not been imitated except in shapes never
-found in old glass. Reproductions of blown glass will
-be taken up by the author in another book.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>3. The collector of American glassware finds a very
-handsome type of candlestick with blown bobèche top
-and molded base. It is safe to say that these tops were
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_67'>67</span>imported from England for use at the Sandwich works.
-They are only found on the most expensive sticks of the
-period, and are identical with English candlesticks of
-the same time, except for the typical Sandwich pedestal
-and base, fused to the blown bobèche. We know that
-elaborate lamp bowls were imported and combined with
-Sandwich glass bases and later joined with brass standards
-to marble bases, thus it is safe to assume that many
-of the elaborate candlesticks are in part of similar origin.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='drop-capa0_2_0_7 c011'>A burner was invented consisting of two tin tubes
-soldered to a brass or pewter screw cap. This
-took the place of the single tube of the earlier
-lamps and gave a double flame. It was adaptable to use
-in lamps of ornamental glass and the enterprising Sandwich
-factory at once started the manufacture of pressed
-glass lamps to meet the demand.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The earliest type was in clear glass. Later more
-elaborate and costly forms were introduced and a blown
-receptacle for the oil fused to a molded base often had
-a beautiful blown center section. The patterns in these
-old lamps are endless. Etched and cut tops were imported
-and fused to Sandwich bases at the factory.
-The Victorian era brought in a demand for two color
-combinations and opaque glass lamps. We stop at the
-introduction of marble bases as they are very much later
-and the bowls for many of these lamps were foreign.
-No attempt has been made to illustrate all specimens, a
-few of the more decorative being chosen. With the
-early lamps no shade was used and the flickering flame
-of the spirit tubes gave little better light than candles
-but it saved the housewife the endless dipping and molding.
-The wick had to be constantly picked through the
-small opening at the side of the burner as it burned
-down. The fluid used was camphine. This is proof alone
-that no shade was used. The glass shades came into use
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_76'>76</span>with the “boudoir burner” which took a flat wick through
-a round opening patented by E. M. &amp; Company in 1865.
-At this time people fitted the earlier lamp with these
-burners and substituted a new fluid for the earlier whale
-oil and camphine. We illustrate a very rare lamp of
-clear white glass with Dolphin standard in the Dolphin
-group.</p>
-
-<p class='c015'>Type <a href='#P19'>1.</a> New England Glass Works, blown top,
-molded four sided base column at end, baskets

-of the glass in the fragile scrolled base with

-blown bowl of great delicacy. Lamps
-are seldom found of this type which closely
-resembles the flatware of the first period.</p>
-
-<p class='c015'>Type <a href='#P19'>4.</a> Was a costlier product. It was fused in

-<p class='drop-capa0_2_0_7 c011'>The author believes there were made during the first
-period many large dishes for table use to match the
-cup plates. These are necessarily rare as such objects
-were more expensive and more liable to breakage.
-To illustrate we have given specimens the additional designation
-of C when there is a cup plate of corresponding
-design and have affixed the measurements. The following
-dishes are rare and have in every instance been
-collected by the author from their original sources.</p>

-
-<p class='c008'>Small slightly concave dishes resembling cup plates
-were made for “best jam” or honey. The patterns in

-meat jars later used for sugar were rare (see illustration)
-and a really early Sandwich cream pitcher is the delight
-of the collector.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Sugar bowls and creamers were made in clear white,
-blue, opalescent, and purple glass. Not many of the
-colored ones have survived hard usage and the white
-many sided bowls with covers are getting very difficult

-in this design, many of the pieces being pontil marked.
-This pattern matched the candle sticks of type 1.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>Some few pieces have been found in this pattern in
-vaselene yellow and purple. The secret of yellow
-glass was conveyed to the Sandwich factory by a workman
-from Bristol, England. The process was too costly
-to admit of the manufacture of many pieces in this
-color. Some lovely scent bottles were made, lamps,
-vases and candle sticks and the author has a pair of rare
-salts on standards. We refer of course to the earlier

-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>For special occasions the Sandwich works got out
-dishes to be presented as souvenirs. These show special
-designing and are exceedingly rare. We illustrate a
-<a href='#P25'>piece</a> issued for the Prince of Wales’ visit to America.
-Also a <a href='#P25'>piece</a> known to have been made at Sandwich in
-simulated English design with words “Gladstone” and
-“For The Million,” thistle center.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>The “Victoria” plate, 7 inch, shows the head of the
-young Queen—in size like George Washington’s head in
-the Washington cup plate—with “Victoria” above and
-with a beautifully stippled lace border of the early period.
-An exquisite and rare plate.</p>
-
-<div class='c017'>Not illustrated.</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>No mention is made in this volume of the endless
-President Garfield, railroad trains, puss in boots, and
-Venus designs whose name is Legion and without whose
-presence the cabinet of the true collector will not suffer,
-such pieces looking entirely out of place on the shelves
-with early Sandwich.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>As personalities are painful to the collector I have
-tried to refrain from them in this volume, trusting that
-those who have something to add or subtract from my
-text will do so in a kindly spirit. We as Americans are
-too prone to make our collections general. We seek
-quantity rather than quality and the author is a believer
-in elimination. <a id='DONT'></a>The following are a few suggestions for
-the amateur collector:</p>
-
-<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_95'>95</span>1. Don’t think you have the best collection until
-you have seen others.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>2. Don’t think that money can buy the best specimens,
-courtesy and patience can buy better.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>3. In collecting old glass he who “hesitates” has
-lost it to his neighbor.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>4. Don’t believe all you hear—investigate.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>5. Don’t collect EARLY “WOOLWORTH.”</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>6. Don’t let envy keep you from enjoying and
-studying another’s collection.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>7. Don’t tell everybody what you are looking for,
-a rival collector is born every minute.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>8. Don’t seek numbers of specimens, seek fine
-workmanship.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>9. Don’t call everything that you cannot classify
-Canadian, English, or Spanish. Comparison of specimens
-and time will change your opinion.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>10. Don’t quote prices for by so doing the market
-is ruined for both dealer and collector. The value is according
-to what you pay and to-morrow you may obtain
-the same piece for more or less.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_96'>96</span>11. Don’t keep your glass in a dark cup-board
-done up in paper. Let others enjoy the fruits of your
-labor.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>12. Considering that everyone’s taste is not alike
-“an unfair exchange is no robbery.”</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>13. Don’t say a thing is “very rare” or “very common”
-remembering that what is rare in Pennsylvania
-may be common in Massachusetts. Most antiques depend
-upon locality for their rarity and your opinion may
-be very local.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>14. Don’t subject old glass to very hot or very cold
-water in washing. Early Sandwich is subject to atmospheric
-conditions. Sudden changes of heat and cold
-will cause cracks.</p>
-
-<p class='c008'>15. Last and not least, don’t “hoard”; give the
-other collector a chance. By exchange and sale of specimens
-you will improve your own collection and if you
-help some one else to get what he wants it will come back
-to you ten fold in unexpected moments. An old house,
-old glass and old friends is a combination worth living
-for.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit http://pglaf.org
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
