Your glassmaster has been on
vacation this past couple of weeks, leaving the sniper's rifle back home
in the armory. Apparently I was not the only one trying to escape
the dog days of August (not to mention blackouts) because there were
glasses to be had and little or no competition.
This particular "steal"
(thanks to Howard Currier for suggesting the category) was a lovely little
picture glass from Boston. The label read "E. P. Clark / Palm
Garden / 151 - 153 Causeway St. / 127 Causeway St. / Boston". It's
an unlisted glass, presumably from a saloon or hotel.
The glass should have fetched
a minimum of $40 but, with no-one watching, bluroc made off with it
for a measly $10.50. Recently morphed ikelekt was left
standing in the dust. I could weep....
Congratulations
Kevin!
