At one time
I mentioned in the Supplements section that you would never see any of
the Fenton catalogs online because it would be too time consuming. Well
that's still true, but I don't have to do them all at once. Every two
weeks I will be bringing you a new catalog, starting with 1967.
Each page is approximately 800 x 1034, give or take a few pixels.
That makes it large enough to get a decent full page printout on 8-1/2 x 11 paper.
For a test, I used standard paper on my Epson printer and was able to get some
very nice pages. High quality paper should do even better. The downside to the
page size is the download time. Expect at least one minute for each page depending
on the speed of your modem and our two connections.
Some of the notable items in this catalog. Fenton's White Milk Glass
Hobnail was still a staple for the company. There is also a large section of
hobnail and thumbprint pieces in Colonial Blue, Green, and Amber. Vasa Murrhina
was still in the line and is shown on page 32. And the amount of smoking accessories
was during the time when it was still popular. How times have changed! |
