Bought a nice "BUCKET OF BLUES" from Roger Lucas at the show. He along with several others have been "hand digging" the Hemingray factory site for over 20 years. Much historical information has been gathered from their efforts. Much of it preserved for future collectors to study so that we all can benefit from the knowledge gained.

Little "crusty" is not the word. These broken pieces were either thrown in an ash pit or the ash pit was thrown on them. Anyway, will be "acid washing" them and then sealing to stabalize the glass.
