    Thanks for that link. My great uncle owned and worked a glassblowing plant in West Virginia for more than 50 years. I wonder if at some point in time, he wasn't involved in the marble industry as West Virginia seems to be pretty consistently mentioned. I might be forced to research this in more detail. Thanks again.
