Issue 2864

If it’s drilled to hang why would need a hole at the base? Dick Stark

Hello Mr. Shovers,

It is a pleasure to write to you! This is Paul Chasse at the Rakow research library in Corning NY. It came by us here at the library that you may be interested in identifying some calcite lamp shades as per mentioned in a recent Gazelle Gazette article. I have made some scans of calcite shards here from a Steuben catalog 54248 here (Sales catalog of Lighting Glassware). Maybe these were the ones that you were searching for? Maybe not, I hope that they help a bit at least. Thank you!

Best Regards and Happy new Year from the Rakow Library,

Paul Chasse
