The Quaker City 1910 Catalog is Rob's first cut glass eBook, but he and wife Val have previously edited or authored more than four dozen glass-related paper books. Rob developed the Cut Glass Pattern Identification Flash Card concept, and has so far created eleven different 100-card sets. A long-time collector and student of Brilliant Era cut glass, Rob writes frequently for the ACGA Hobstar, and has published hundreds of cut glass photographs. Rob and Val began collecting American Brilliant Era cut glass in Austin more than thirty years ago, and became active members of the ACGA Lone Star Chapter. During a Bay Area professional interval most of their collection was stored in "earthquake country." Since moving Midwest, they've refined and expanded their diverse cut glass collection, which they greatly enjoy. Favored shapes in cut glass are loving cups, mugs of all sizes, napkin rings and butter pats.
