Fostoria Its First Fifty Years
Weatherman, Hazel Marie Self Published, 1972. 320 pages. ISBN: 0913074020. Retail: $~75.00 This book covers the history and wares of the Fostoria Glass Co. from it's founding in 1887 through the 1930's and early 1940's. The five chapters are organized chronologically, each with several pages of detailed text covering the important changes and events effecting the company during that time, followed by numerous catalog reprints organized by line number. Prices were published separately and updated from time to time.
This is easily the most comprehensive book available on the early years of Fostoria Glass Co. Any work by Mrs. Weatherman is well worth having, but this book is a must have for any serious Fostoria collector or dealer. It has long been out of print, but can be found on the secondary market for prices ranging from $50 to $100. Review by: Toby (abzoid) |
