Yes it's beautiful and looks regal. I never did write to you about that Sanford stuff though. Got into collecting Fostoria slag glass since this is the town they were in for 90 years after leaving Fostoria, Ohio because of lack of oil. Then many bring it into Goodwill. Likely young people who have no nostalgia and don't know its worth. The Salvation army thrift store gets donations from rich people who have a lot of it and maybe even the Fostoria museum is even secretly doing that. Also Imperial glass was in Bellaire Ohio just across the Moundsville bridge and Fenton is in Martin's Ferry across the bridge. Much EAPG Victorian antique glass around here too. Turns out this area was the main glass producers for the country and we sit in the heart of it. There was some around the house too. I know their slag glass dumping spots. Got an antique glass scanning app on phone and uv 365nm and 395nm flaslights that show metals. Uranium and manganese is often in Fostoria and glows neon green. Lead glows icy blue. I collect all 3 but Fostoria is especially special personally. Some of the little good history in Moundsville. The town took 20 years to demolish Fostoria factory because of the nostalgia. Closed in '86 when I was 7. They used 3 mold lines & fire polished theirs which is unusual but production was slow compared to 70's machines but machine quality isn't as good so they closed instead of lessening their quality. Fenton is still around since they did mostly art glass & carnival glass so not affected. Imperial closed too. Fostoria was crystal not just average glass..
