Breaking News Nailsea / Bristol hat found in charity shop in Bristol for £1.50
David E:
--- Quote ---In the attached text sheets, the brief history of Nailsea Glass Works is interesting - anyone know of 'The Nailsea Glassworks' by Margaret Thomas??

Yup, I have a copy, but can't put my hands on it ATM. Very informative, but cheaply produced paperback that is well researched.
The other book I have on Nailsea, Mike has already mentioned. Again, a very good read if you're into the history or the glass.

Here are the documents Paul was sent
Paul S.:
my thanks to Christine for her help. :)
David - as per Mike's suggestion my copy of 'Nailsea Glass' by Keith Vincent arrived in the post today - I will now have a look for a copy of Margaret Thomas' book. I think it was Peter (Oldglassman) who suggested the paperback on spirit measures (which I would want to buy), but I thought the asking price (for the only copy I could find) exceptionally high for a paperback. I come from a time when a new Penguin could be bought for two shillings - and it didn't want any fish. ;D

Throwing one more into the ring, bought in Cambridge many years ago for a fiver.
Paul S.:
attractive and unusual, not been aware of seeing one in this sort of cased colouring, although there is an example in a similar sort of opaque white showing in the NT link - but don't know if it has a pink interior. Apparently they come in sizes ranging from about two inches in height, to almost full size and big enough to wear. Is this a large or small hat, and does it have a rough pontil mark?
having thrown your hat into the ring (i.e. requesting a bare fist fight) I'll wager you're now waiting for someone else to follow suit and be your sparring partner ;)
