No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

We have tricks. Signatures can often be very difficult to make out.

Sprinkling a little talcum powder over the mark, then wiping it gently with a fingertip will leave talc residue in the mark which can then be photographed.

You may need to fiddle a bit to get the light hitting it at the right angle.

Labels are sometimes retailer's labels and signatures sometimes belong to previous owners...
