Our May 2026 Public Presentation:
“Digging up old Bottles”
Bottle and glass collector Randy Hammond shares with us his enjoyment of collecting. Mr. Hammond, a resident of Greenfield, NY, has been collecting for almost 60 years. He often finds glass treasures in old dumps. Randy has molten glass in his blood, growing up near the Saratoga Glassworks in Mt Pleasant, NY where one of his relatives was employed as a glassblower. The Saratoga Glassworks existed at the same time that our glass factory on Glass Lake existed. Bring in those old bottles that you found in the attic when you moved into your old house for him to examine. Find out what glass is currently desirable in the collector market. Randy will bring some examples from his collection to share.
