Book Description
This book is unparalleled in its findings the author has had access to factory records previously undocumented in other publications. Black glass, cobalt glass from the 1920s and 1930s, milk glass from the 1950s, and over 20 patterns from the early years are featured. Mount Pleasant and Moon & Star are also given full coverage using a combination of original photos, vintage photos from company files, and catalog reprints. But besides the well-known items produced by the company, some collectible areas where Smith s contribution has remained virtually unknown are also highlighted: ruby-stained souvenir ware, rare candy containers made during the teens and twenties, Art Deco figural powder jars, and figural boudoir lamps. Fully illustrated are Smith s popular animal figurines, covered animal dishes, and many other specialized products. Over 1,000 photographs and catalog reprints make this volume the ideal introduction to one of the only American handmade glass companies that is still in operation after 100 years. 2007 values.

Book Description
Originally published in 2007 and out of print since 2012, this volume was the first complete history of L. E. Smith, made possible by unprecedented access to factory records, catalogs, photographs, and the company "morgue" - thousands of sample pieces from 100 years of production. It is now available from the Glass Flakes Press, scanned from the original work with minor updates and corrections. In addition to the extensive history, it includes sections identifying all production and many experimental colors, including carnival glass, milk glass, and other opaque colors. Approximately one third of the book is devoted to the major patterns, including Mount Pleasant, Heritage (including many reproductions from the McKee -Tec patterns), Dominion, Simplicity (Smith's answer to Viking's Epic), Moon and Star, Hobnail, Daisy and Button, and many more. The remainder of the book covers specialized products: ruby-stained souvenir ware, candy containers, bedroom and bathroom glassware, animals and covered animals dishes, candlesticks, and punch bowls. A general index, pattern number index, and visual index are included.
