Yellow-Green Vaseline!: A Guide to the Magic Glass
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The first glimpse of refracted yellow-green color in a barber bottle years ago inspired author Jay Glickman to learn all he could about this magic glass. The kaleidoscope of myths surrounding this elusive glass was almost as vast as its radiant tints; however, Glickman brought to light facts and fictions with the release of Yellow-Green Vaseline! A Guide to the Magic Glass in 1991. Now available from Antique Publications, the newly revised and updated Yellow-Green Vaseline! continues to enlighten and educate, and is still the only book of its kind to deal with this interesting topic. Complete with 1998 price guide.
