The other interesting thing about collecting carnival glass is that there are
so many clubs out there and one can usually find one somewhat close to where
they live. Each offer annual conventions and newsletters with lots of good
information. Also many carnival glass clubs have an online presence with a
website that will offer lots of great info and pictures. This is not typical
of most collecting categories as there is typically one club that unites them.
There is so much more that can be said but there is not enough time within this
article. Perhaps I will write additional articles on the fascinating subject
in future issues of this publication since there is so much to offer on this
subject.
Note:
This article appeared in the West Virginia Museum of American Glass
publication, All About Glass. This was written from the perspective of my
early days of collecting carnival glass and my fond memories of an individual
who taught me so much. In addition, it was also written to possibly influence
others into collecting this great glass.
