Culver Glassware--Decorated Tumblers, Ice Tubs, and Barware: Catalog Reprints from the 1960s & 1980. This is Monograph No. 82 in the glass study series of the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia. The catalogs reprinted in this monograph include an undated catalog, late 1950s or early 1960s, the 1962 catalog, the 1966 catalog, the 1967 catalog, the 1980 catalog, and the spring 1980 price list. 120 patterns are illustrated. Written & compiled by Tom Felt.

81 pages, fully illustrated in color, with an index.

This catalog reprint is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born.

The WVMAG monographs address glass topics that yet lack the wide interest to make publishing a book commercially successful or that we do not yet know enough to commit to the more permanent form of a book. WVMAG's photocopied catalogs and monographs are endeavors in seed planting by providing information on topics that may not have been previously readily available that other researchers can draw upon in formulating their own work.

About the Museum of American Glass (MAGWV)

MAGWV is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization located in Weston, WV.  Our mission is to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses.

The Museum contains representative samples of glass products as widely varied as pressed and blown tableware, art glass, bottles, marbles, insulators, automotive glass, glass eyeballs, and much more.  There is also equipment and tools which were used in glassmaking.  We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. 

The Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and oftentimes forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry.

MAGWV displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century, attempting to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies.  No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
