Ruby Vase With Anchor Backstamp...

Nic,

I just wanted to clarify that my post wasn't meant in that way is all. Text on a message board can have many different meanings, depending on who comes along and reads it and what attitude they bring with them.



vidfletch,

Yes;  there are many books which cover Anchor Hocking, but there are no books that cover those two glass companies separately,  before they merged into one glass company. One rarely sees a reference to "Hocking Glass", made before their merger with the Anchor Cap & Closure Company, nor is there ever much mention of "Anchor Cap & Closure Company Glass", before the merger with Hocking. In the books etc., it all just gets lumped together as being Anchor Hocking.

Maybe it took the merger for the company to be interesting to write about!

I only mentioned the books for reference sake.

... several books on Anchor Hocking glass. It would seem the whole story is available!
Vidfletch :D


I find Gene Florence "Collectible Glassware from the 40's, 50's , 60's"  from Collector books quite useful despite the strange title.
