Issue 3405

Good morning Alan and all members! Another ‘in the movies’ scene that shows a nice viewing of a pair of ‘6971’ luminors, is in the movie ‘Skyscraper Souls’. The scene can be viewed by all by going to tcm.com and search the movie title, then click on that movie, click on ‘view clips’ and go to clip titled ‘I’d Like Another’ and enjoy!! Guy Hoskins

Pictured in Dimitroff’s, Frederick Steuben and Steuben Glass, as Fig. 4.115 @ p.88. “Mr. Fred Carder has been greatly interested in the use of light for ornament and has applied his experienced artistic touch most effectively in this direction.

Pictured at Ill. 104, p. 69 of Gardner’s, The Glass of Frederick Carder. “Bubbles in glass have long annoyed glass makers striving for clear, flawless glass. Carder loved bubbles–he said they ‘gave life to the metal,’ and he often used them decoratively either in controlled designs(Ill 104) or random arrangements(Ills. 105, 106).”

Quality Glass

This isn’t a Steuben piece, but it shows that no matter which company made this level of quality, it was expensive. The candlestick was $3.69 in 1925. Jan Baer
