DEAR ALAN

, I FEEL THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TIMES THAT THE MEMBERS HAVE REALLY GOT THEMSELVES INVOLVED WITH WHETHER A TYPE OF GLASS IS STEUBEN ROUGE”FLAMBE OR CARDINAL RED. WHETHER IT IS STEUBEN OR MADE IN EUROPE,OR ITALY.

AS A CLUB ,LIKE ALL OTHER GLASS CLUBS THAT IS WHAT THIS CLUB IS FOR ,FOR US ALL TO TALK WITH EACH OTHER,FIND MORE INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE ON THE ITEM,AND COME BACKTO SHARE IT WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS.

WHAT “”OUR”” CLUB NOW NEEDS TO DO IS ALL SIT DOWN THIS COMING FALL AND INSTEAD OF JUST AN HOUR LONG CLASS.RUN IT FROM 9 AM TO NOON ON JUST THESE PIECES OF( CARDINAL RED,ROUGE FLAMBE” ) THAT RANDE AND OTHERS HAVE REALLY SHOWN INTEREST IN.

THERE ARE TWO MANY OPEN ENDS IN THIS TALK,THAT JUST ONE PERSON CAN NOT SAY YA OR NA TO THE PIECE AND THAT IS FINAL. WE ALL HAVE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES THAT WITH THING THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT OUT ABOUT CARDER STEUBEN GLASS THAT AS A CLUB WE SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT THIS GLASS IS REALLY IS. IS IT A COLOR FROM MR. CARDER,S ERA AT STEUBEN GLASS THAT HE WAS EXPERIMENTING WITH AND THEN DECIDED HE DID NOT LIKE IT FOR WHAT EVER REASON. AS A CLUB WE SHOULD BE THE GROUP TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN TO IMPROVE THE KNOWLLEDGE TO ALL PEOPLE.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THAT ONE OF THE (ENGRAVED OR ACID ETCHED)PIECES TALKED ABOUT DID NOT HAVE A TOP TO IT,WHERE THE LINE DRAWINGS SHOWS IT. I HAVE 3 PERFUMES THAT DO NOT HAVE STOPPERS. DOES THAT NOT MAKE THOSE 3 NOT TO BE STEUBEN GLASS?

AS WE ALL GO ALONG IN OUR COLLECTING CARDER STEUBEN GLASS WE ALL COME ALONG A PIECE OR TWO THAT IS 95%SURE THAT IT IS A PIECE OF CARDERS GLASS,BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT MAKES IT SOMEWHAT DOUBTFUL.DOWN THE ROAD THAT PERSON FINDS THAT LAST THING THEY NEEDED TO KNOW 100%IT IS CARDER STEUBEN .

A GREAT PLACE TO GO TO PROVE THAT IS INTHE CARDER STEUBEN CLUB PAGE WHERE THERE ARE PIECES OF STEUBEN GLASS THAT MEMBERS CAN NOT FIND A CATALOG NUMBER BUT THAT PIECE HAS EVERTHING ELSE GOING FOR IT AS A PIECE OF STEUBEN .

SO AS A CLUB WEATHER ONE PERSON IS AGAINST THESE PIECES OR ANOTHER FEELS THEY HAVE A STRONG POSSIBIBLITY TO BE CARDER’S GLASS, THEN AS A “”CLUB””LET’S BRING SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO THE SYMPOSIUM THIS COMING FALL AND HAVE A LONG TALK ,DISCUSSION ABOUT THESE PIECES,AND WE MAY FIND THERE ARE MORE THINGS FOR “””ALL””OF US TO LEARN,AND KNOW ABOUT THEM
