Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Choice Array of Rare and Beautiful Early American Glass: Selections From the Private Collection of Herbert Delavan Mason, Fine Keene, Stoddard, Wistarburg and Three-Mold Specimens; Five Splendid Paneled Stiegel Vases, and Many Other of the Rarest Examples Yet Discovered It will be noted that in addition to the early blown glass I have added a very few other items which have seemed to me interesting. While I realize that I have reached almost the length of a monograph rather than a foreword, I trust that the foreword will prove of interest both to those who are and those who are not particularly familiar with the types of glass presented. Whether the market will absorb so many items, of which so many are rare, remains to be seen, but my keen interest in the subject, as well as my desire to draw specific attention to the some what neglected and partially unknown types that I am submitting, as well as my information that there will be no other glass sale this year, leads me to venture an Offering which I hope will be of service to those who are engaged in a phase of collecting which seems to me to have no superior and few equals.
