This is a listing for a wonderful resource book titled "Fostoria It's First Fifty Years" by Hazel Marie Weatherman. The copyright is 1972. This illustrated book has reprints of the original catalogue pages from 1887 to 1937. There are black and white photographs as well as drawings of the items available at the time including the wonderful Master Etchings of Versailles, June, Trojan, Vernon, Brocades, and many other etched and plain patterns. There are a few pages with colored photographs to represent the colors made. Hazel Marie Weatherman took the time to research the patterns and make notes of the years of production and colors. This is one of my favorite books as it was really the first book of its kind dealing with Fostoria. I have included some sample pictures of the pages as well as the table of contents. This has 320 pages.
This is in good used vintage condition with some handling marks, appropriate to its age.
This book measures approximately 9" x 11".
