Vintage Chicago Art glass for sale
Commander Barkfeather
I am retiring from the stained glass business due to age and
health reasons. I am looking to sell my collection of vintage Chicago
Art glass. I worked for their studio for years and was often paid in
glass instead of money. When they went out of business about 1987 I
bought all I could afford. Chicago Art was the first company to make
glass that was really like what Tiffany made. Had it not been for a
falling out between the partners, I'm sure they'd still be in business
today. I have about 250 full sheets and 250 half sheets and a dozen
or so boxes of cut-ups 4x8" to 8x18"which are about 150 lbs each.
These pieces are the best of their best, and ideal for lampshades or
landscape windows I am selling this at less than what the wholesale
price was at that time.I am located near Chicago.
I sample pictures to any interested parties. My headers are
faked to try to avoid spam. If you are interested, e-mail me at:

But not the vintage collectable stuff. You're closer to Chicago than me. I
think you should run over and pick it up Andy! I'll split it with you.

True, but not the same, and none of the big wholesalers even carry it
now!

about you guys cutting me in on the deal and then having a little vacation
here in the south? you could just drop it off on your way to the beach

Naw...you're closer. Portland, OR to Chicago is about 2100 miles. New
York City to chicago is about 850 miles. Try and get me some nice
blues and some deep purples!

and neither does Hollander Central which is here near chiczgo. There
have been times I wish I could get some of a certain color. Won't
need to now. It's been a good 26 years but now it's time for the
rocking chair by the woodstove.

That's as the crow flies Andy, but in reality it can take as long to get
through 5 miles in NYC as it will take you to drive to St Louis!
nJb
But if he winds up in St Louis while going from Portland to Chicago,
he's just as likely to end up in New Orleans as he is Chicago.
