Product Description:
Here is a fascinating study of commercial glass production along the Ohio River Valley in the 1950s and 1960s. Companies such as Blenko, Pilgram, Rainbow, Viking, Kanawaha, Bischiff, Morgantown and others made free-and mold-blown production glass in modern, sometimes bizarre shapes and wildly vibrant colors. The book is filled with over 400 color photographs of the beautiful glass, its labels, catalog pages, company histories and a price guide.

Additionally, it contains a rather descriptive and detailed table of estimated values of the different pieces today. The book does a good job of giving histories of the companies inside as well.
