If you can, find any catalogs of glasses that they may have around and see
if you can make copies of it.  There's always the need to find out what
some of this old glass that has been floating about and not much is known
about it anymore as those who had catalogs (professional opticians mostly)
have thrown those catalogs out and there really isn't much of what the
glasses were called or their standard indices were. As to the catalogs, the
specs of the glasses are more important that all the description of the
specs (I don't have to see another copy of how the glass is speced in temp,
melt temps and other such things) are. I've got a '60 era Bausch and Lomb
glass set on my website thanks to one guy that had it and the one thing
that is missing is the common names that the glasses had (they were all
defined by the glass number) and tho I have found the names for some of
them, I hven't gotten that many and thus haven't put in the names that
other makers used for the glass spec. Bob May
