    Mission Statement
    I have been collecting EAPG glass, depression glass, and other types of glass for a number of years. I have recently decided it is time to sell a large part of this collection. I am going to attempt to sell the majority of my collection in multiple pieces of a company's product line. For example: Fostoria American, Anchor Hocking, May Fair, Federal Glass, Sharon Cabbage Rose, Imperial Glass, Candlewick etc.I would appreciate any comments on this sales concept verses selling single item pieces.
    The majority of my collection was acquired in various tag and estate auction sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
    Notes/Comments on Vintage Glass
    My items are available for sale in an "As Is" condition. All the glass being sold is vintage. This means the glass pieces were manufactured between 1890 and 1960 unless stated otherwise (most pieces were manufactured from 1900 to 1940). The glass being sold is USED, it is not NEW. In many cases the quality of the glass does not equal what is being manufactured today. The manufacturing methods were not modern. The result of these manufacturing methods is they item may have:
    "Straw Marks"
    Rough Edges
    Bubbles
    Mold Marks
    Other Discontinuities
    These items are not usually found in modern glass. These are to be EXPECTED in vintage glass. Also this glass was probably used at the kitchen or dining room table, it was then washed. It may have been taken in and out of the ice box or refrigerator. The results of these actions are that many of the pieces may exhibit surface scratches or other type of wear discontinuities.
    I will attempt to identity any discontinuities found in  the glass, by describing the discontinuities and if possible showing them in my pictures (not always an easy thing to accomplish).
    Fact:
    I am not a glass expert. I will do my best to describe the glass and identify discontinuities. It is possible I might describe a condition different than you would describe it. It is also possible in some cases we would both look at things differently.
    Read my description carefully. Look at the pictures carefully. Utilize the blowup the zoom feature. In doubt ask a question. This may help us both to "see" what the other one sees. Neither of us wants to have an item to have to be returned. NOBODY WINS.
