1-- “WISTARBURGH: WINDOW TILES, BOTTLES, and MORE” by Dale Murschell. The spiral bound workbook contains 160 pages with 68 pages in color and plastic laminated covers. It contains many pictures of Wistar artifacts and many bottles to match the artifacts. There are many End-of-Day items pictured, which were made by the glass blowers just for the South Jersey area. There is information about the many archeological excavations at the site of the glass factory, and information about the Wistar Family and Casper’s Will.
I’ve tried to present a workbook with many pictures of artifacts and Wistar colors to stimulate opinions about this 18th Century Glass Factory. Some opinions may not agree with mine.
