This reference is divided into two parts: Giggle Water Galore! and The Great Gaspers! Each part is divided into two sections. For example, in the first section of Giggle Water Galore!, barware produced for major lines such as Line No. 37 "Moondrops" and Line No. 38 Hostmaster will be found chronologically according to when the line was first offered. Section Two will encompass barware related items not associated with a major line - of which there was a considerable amount. Names appearing in quotation marks are names provided by collectors or the author and not names given by New Martinsville. The second part of the reference, The Great Gaspers! is divided into two sections. The first addresses smoking-related sets popular during the 1920s and 1930s and a concluding section of the more interesting ashtrays the company produced. Both sections of part two will be arranged alphabetically. With the exception of Part One, Section One, an effort has been made, when applicable, to arrange entries in alphabetical order. Not every entry has a name, line number, or known specific production period. This book is a must for all collectors of tobacciana as well as lovers of elegant glass. Written by Chris Shoemaker. Published by The Glass Flakes Press, ISBN 979-8-9922765-1-0.If you are a member of WVMAG, you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment.About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (WVMAG)The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses.WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
