An incredibly rare, museum-quality original vintage circa 1940s educational project workbook titled \"Our America: GLASS for Daily Use, Beauty and Science.\" This unique mid-century classroom premium was developed and distributed nationally by The Coca-Cola Company and approved by leading educators as an interactive learning curriculum.
This specific example is in remarkable, unused dead-stock condition. It includes the highly fragile, matching original loose-leaf insert sheet containing all 20 full-color lithographed historical illustration stamps. None of the stamps have been pasted into the workbook\'s designated \"Paste Here\" boxes, and the front interior student identification page remains entirely blank and unmarked.
The 16-page book offers an engaging historical and industrial look at American glass manufacturing across four parts: Producing Glass, Shaping Glass into New Forms, Gaining New Services from Glass, and Technical & Scientific Uses. Topics covered include glass beads traded in early Jamestown, the premium craftsmanship of 18th-century glassmaker Henry William Stiegel in Manheim, Pennsylvania, the manufacturing of safety glass for automobiles, and technical applications like laboratory prisms, telescopes, and glass fibers for textiles. The back cover prominently features the official Coca-Cola Company educational shield stamp insignia flanked by two classic contour bottles.
