About the Author
Tom Felt's introduction to glassware began in 1977 when he and his partner, Bob O'Grady, admired a pair of candlesticks at a friend's house. Little did they know that would lead to one of the most complete collections of Heisey candlesticks anywhere, and would also result in their first book, Heisey Glass Candlesticks, Candelabra, and Lamps. Tom has since written two other books on Heisey and became a regular contributor to the Glass Collector's Digest and other periodicals.
Elaine Stoer and her husband Richard, are co-authors of a three-volume series on glass candlesticks, along with Tom Felt. She and husband Richard are advanced collectors and researchers in this field.
Richard Stoer and his wife Elaine are co-authors of a three-volume series on glass candlesticks, along with Tom Felt. He and wife Elaine are advanced collectors and researchers in this field.
From Publishers Weekly
The first volume of this guide to pricing and identifying American-made glass candlesticks features thumbnail descriptions, company history and hundreds of color photographs for the serious enthusiast. The authors, collectors themselves, gathered sales data from auction houses, antiques dealers and eBay to determine the prices various pieces are likely to fetch, and offer basic guidelines to their collectibility: colored pieces are pricier than crystal ones (with ruby and cobalt being the most desirable), and etched patterns and hand-painted designs add to an item's value, while gold rim often subtracts from it. Covering companies from Akro Agate to Boston and Sandwich to Fenton Art Glass (the next volume will tackle companies further along in the alphabet) this expert guide will aid avid collectors in their quest for the rarest and most attractive specimens, such as the blue crucifix candleholder manufactured by Duncan and Sons in the late 1800s, which is worth upwards of $300.
