ORIGINAL: jlf1961 As for the glass collecting, I wonder if anyone collects Trinity glass? What is that? Style, maker, what? I don't think I ever heard of that before..... Off to Google I must go, I must go, I must go.... Off to google I must go, <can't remember the last line.....> Did you mean Tiara Glass? Actually, I meant "Trinity" glass. It is the glass bulbs found at the trinity site where they detonated the first atomic bomb in history. The detonation fused the sand around ground zero into glass. First called Atomsite, then Trinitite.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitite cool pics, and a nice, short read. LOL! The "bulbs" are rare since they were cooled on the way down. Most Trinitite was formed on ground. 1952 marks the date when site was closed. Some glass on eBay... what isn't? The glass I collect is pretty much limited to American-made, pressed glass.
