AS this is the only group of people POSSIBLY interested in making use of this stuff, I am making you aware of this MATERIAL used in CREATING glass art...
If there are beadmakers here? Yeah right! or warm glass people that may have an interest....
I have about 300 lbs, yup acquired by default, 300 lbs of glass rod, ok, maybe not but a lot anyway....
this stuff goes way back into the history of to German stock, Kugler? some opal, mostly transparent, size? between 4 mm and larger to maybe 8 mm. Lengths are varied as much as the colors.
You can have it for a buck a lb, plus the shipping......there is a bunch, no I won't pick thru it, there is some pink, opal and transparent, there is some vaseline yellow/green, reds, blued, greens, tan opal, oranges, striking colors in reds and oranges....
Compatibility? Well, I did a pull test with some lead glass tubing and some of it matched and some did not. I tested with Morretti, some fit, some bent more, there is a wide variety here..... The guy I got it from did little creatures and his stuff is now in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, he did little things and did not anneal, nor worry about "fit" things were so small that seems never to be a concern.
You will have to test it for use, but at this price, darn a shame to have it in a storage bldg when someone can use it.
This post is properly marked, I believe, and this will be the only post about it. If you can use it, reply here and I will find a way to contact you....
