Vintage Chicago Art glass for sale

Greetings, I am retiring from the stained glass business due to age and health reasons. I am looking to sell my collection of vintage Chicago Art glass. I worked for their studio for years and was often paid in glass instead of money. When they went out of business about 1987 I bought all I could afford. Chicago Art was the first company to make glass that was really like what Tiffany made. Had it not been for a falling out between the partners, I'm sure they'd still be in business today. I have about 250 full sheets and 250 half sheets and a dozen or so boxes of cut-ups 4x8" to 8x18"which are about 150 lbs each. These pieces are the best of their best, and ideal for lampshades or landscape windows I am selling this at less than what the wholesale price was at that time.I am located near Chicago. I sample pictures to any interested parties. My headers are faked to try to avoid spam. If you are interested, e-mail me at: snipped-for-privacy@ameritech.net

But not the vintage collectable stuff. You're closer to Chicago than me. I think you should run over and pick it up Andy! I'll split it with you.

True, but not the same, and none of the big wholesalers even carry it now!

well, i'm in for some, too, but he doesn't seem to want to ship. I haven't got anywhere near enough time to 'run' up there in between shows so how's about you guys cutting me in on the deal and then having a little vacation here in the south? you could just drop it off on your way to the beach ;>)......... m

Naw...you're closer. Portland, OR to Chicago is about 2100 miles. New York City to chicago is about 850 miles. Try and get me some nice blues and some deep purples!

Sorry, didn't know about these. I know that Hoy's does not carry it, and neither does Hollander Central which is here near chiczgo. There have been times I wish I could get some of a certain color. Won't need to now. It's been a good 26 years but now it's time for the rocking chair by the woodstove.

If the successful buyer happens to be in the SE, be sure to give him my email address.

That's as the crow flies Andy, but in reality it can take as long to get through 5 miles in NYC as it will take you to drive to St Louis!

But if he winds up in St Louis while going from Portland to Chicago, he's just as likely to end up in New Orleans as he is Chicago.

So... she's more experienced. With glass. A lady with a gather of glass is ageless.
