Imperial Carnival Glass

This full-color reference book details all of the carnival glass patterns, shapes, and colors that were made by Imperial between 1909 and 1930. Original wholesale catalogs from the period also are featured. Detailed information on the reproduction trademarks and how to tell the old from the new will prove valuable to the collector. AUTHORBIO: Carl Burns has spent well over half his life collecting, buying, and selling carnival glass. He is a member of the Heart of America Carnival Glass Association, the Lincoln-Land Carnival Glass Club, the San Diego Carnival Glass Club, and the National Imperial Glass Collectors' Society. He also collects Imperial ruby slag and jade slag glass. He is a full-time antiques dealer, and his business, Minnah's Antiques, is well known throughout the country. REVIEW: This book is one of the first to be written on the subject, and is written by a noted carnival glass author and collector. A history of Imperial begins the book, then patterns and photos appear alphabetically. It is a great resource for carnival glass collectors.
