Coudersport Glass is named after the small community where the company made its respective bid to compete in a volatile marketplace. The company suffered severe setbacks. Fire roared through the glass plant just when it appeared to be on the brink of some major advances, destroying the hopes and dreams of hundreds who believed the facility was destined for great things. The rare pieces of glass that surface from time to time today in yard sales and antique auctions only tease us to speculate about what might have been.

From the Publisher:

Early American pressed glass collectors and history buffs alike will enjoy this book on the short-lived glass company in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. This well-written book chronicles the "cloud" over Coudersport Glass, from legal difficulties to a disastrous fire, which finished off the company after just four years. Milk, custard, vaseline, art, and opalescent glass collectors will find this book, complete with a 48-page color section, fascinating. Value guide included.
