lor. There are also many oddly shaped de¬ 
signs in the shape of fish, animals, men, 
violins, etc., but these are of uncertain date 
and origin, and therefore do not appeal to 
an enthusiast who desires chronological in¬ 
formation in regard to his collection. 
The oldest designs we have here in 
America could not have been made before 
1825 and since most of them were pro¬ 
duced between 1848 and 1852, we can be 
justifiably amused at the accounts fre¬ 
quently published, of remarkable discov¬ 
eries of Taylor or Washington flasks im¬ 
bedded in the foundations or stone walls of 
buildings erected more than a hundred 
years ago.

or of old glass considerable scope in price 
A characteristic design on early American 
glassware; the “Father of His Country” 
bottle 
is given. Much or little may be paid for 
the old bottles and decanters, although in 
the past twenty years, the price of old 
glassware has steadily risen. If Charles 
Lamb is right when he says that everyone 
should have a hobby, even if it is no more 
than collecting strings, what more worthy 
cause could enlist the collector than the as¬ 
sembling of this beautiful old glass whose 
history seems so interwoven with our 
country’s? The quest for old glass seems 
to be one where quality, not quantity, 
counts. Mary A. Northend

the stone secure, yet a stone wall that is a 
stone wall should stand up even if there 
were no mortar in it, and should not only 
be able to stand up, but should present this 
appearance of stability to the eye; it is this 
feature of the house at Cynwyd which is 
of particular strength.
