We note that this book doesn't focus on any particular saw model or models that this company made, but does show some application for these machines that I often forget they are capable of, like filing on a jig saw, or Inlaying metals and other decorative applications. It also show various projects like puzzles. A good text section on saw blades, speeds, set-up etc. This book has 71 pages. Condition is good to good++, pages are very clean, cover, binding and spine intact, we note a small puncture through the entire book, however all the text is still readable, it is like someone put a sharp point awl through the pages, so it didn't make a hole big enough to remove text from the pages. It is soft covered, some shop dirt noted, but overall in clean condition, no missing pages, no writing or scibbling noted.

Commercially, cobalt was not used as a glass colorant until the late 1800s. Small quantities of cobalt were produced by American glass companies from the late 1800s to the mid-1920s. Most of the American cobalt glass in this book is from the mid-1920s to World War II. Several companies including the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, the L.E. Smith Glass Company, and the MacBeth-Evans Glass Company produced machine-molded cobalt glass during the 1930s that can be considered true Depression glass. Many of the major glass companies are covered in this book: Cambridge, Central Glass, Duncan &amp; Miller, Fostoria Glass, Hazel Atlas, A.H. Heisey, Imperial, Paden City, Westmoreland, and many more. There are over 800 color photos. Items shown include candlesticks, bowls, compotes, cake stands, trays and platters, glasses, pitchers, and perfumes. http://www.josephmarc.com/page-88317.html 2009-07-03T19:08:46-04:00
