Digging Up Bottles
Join the Sand Lake Historical Society on Tuesday, May 12, at 7pm when bottle and glass collector Randy Hammond shares with us his enjoyment of collecting. Mr. Hammond, a resident of West Sand Lake, has been collecting for almost 60 years. He often finds glass treasures in old dumps. Randy has molten glass in his blood, growing up near the Saratoga Glassworks in MT Pleasant, NY where one of his relatives was employed a glassblower. The Saratoga Glassworks existed at the same time that our glass factory on Glass Lake existed.
Bring in those old bottles that you found in the attic when you moved into your old house for him to examine. Find out what glass is currently desirable in the collector market. Randy will bring some examples from his collection to share.
Sand Lake Historical Society programs are held at the Sand Lake Town Hall Courtroom, 8428 NY 66, Averill Park, beginning at 7PM. SLHS monthly programs are open to the public and are live-streamed on the Town Video website -https://townhallstreams.com/towns/sand_lake_ny. A $5 donation is suggested for non-members. New members are always welcomed.
