Description

THE COLLECTORS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AKRO AGATE GLASSWARE
by Gene Florence, Collector Books, KY, 1975/1992.
This scarce out-of-print book provides an in-depth pictorial survey of antique Akro Agate glassware.  Pictured in color and black-and-white are hundreds of examples of this early children’s glassware and other Akro Agate glassware  items.  The narrative in this book is rich and the pictures are well identified including pricing [see date of publication].
The book covers by chapter: Marbles; Westite; Ashtrays; Bells, Baskets and Miscellaneous; Bowl and Candlestick; Demi Tasse Cups and Saucers; Flower Pots; Jardinieres; Lamps; Powder Jars; Planters; Puff Boxes; Small Vases and Urns; Tall Vase; Jean Vivaudou Company and Related Items; Advertising Ash Trays; Children’s Dishes (Opaque); Children’s Dishes (J. Pressman Co.); Children’s Dishes (Marbelized); Children’s Dishes (Trans Optics); Westite Catalog Reprint; and Doorway Chain.  Lavishly illustrated, this early book would make a fine addition to the permanent library of the Akro Agate glassware collector.
8.5” x 11” softback in very good condition.  80 pages.
