Topic: Sulphide duck on eBay

[Nick77]

Hi Alan,
It is indeed Evangeline Bergstrom's book, I was browsing eBay last week and it had just been listed with a buy it now price of £15 so I snapped it up quick. It was it seems privately printed so thought I'd best get it whilst I could as possibly it was a small print run?
Haven't had time to sit down and read it yet though.

Nick, if you can find a copy of the second edition of Old Glass Paperweights, published 1947, buy that too. Some items from the first edition were removed as they were later found to be of different attributions. But other misunderstandings were left as they were.

Just for fun, can you find at least three items pictured in the 1940 edition, referenced in the French section, that we now know were attributed incorrectly. And how many of the pictured items related to the English section do you think may have been misunderstood at the time?

Maybe I should split out the Bergstrom posts as a new thread?

Yes Kevin there are quite a few errors, a quick look shows Paul Ysart and Pantin weights mis-identified, do you want a list,  if so do you want to split the thread first?
