Its so sad to see such great historical glass from a century and more ago die. It does not make a lot of sense to me. I know we discussed this before a while back. Its so sad to see a generation of people who grew up shuttered in their houses playing video games are simply not interested in antiques that define who we are as a nation.
As I often said before, newer generations now are only interested in things that have keyboards or things that can be controlled by their phones.I was at the Akro Agate convention this past week and like all clubs they are aging. A 2000 piece auction and most of it went cheap. However I did visit the Museum of American Glass in Weston WV and there were quite a few people walking around in there with apparent interest. Maybe a big part of the problem is people still being so uncertain of the economy? I really don’t know and maybe time will tell.
