I have to admit that one of the really neat things about maintaining Peachridge Glass (besides my selfish desire to be immersed in glass) is when I do a post on an unfamiliar or non mainstream topic and get follow-up comments and pictures from a fellow collector.
In this case my post Paperweight Collectors Association prompted western collector Bill Curtiss to send these nice pictures of his paperweights. You really can learn about the depth of our hobby when you are corresponding and learning about other collectors. Now who would have thought that a major whiskey bottle collector would be balancing his interest with paperweights. Pretty cool…
I could never understand when I would get all excited about an insulator I just saw or purchased and my father couldn’t have been less interested. It just goes to show you that there is no right or wrong way to collect. We are all bound by our love of glass and in this case, you really can experience the beauty of glass with paperweights.
