Much love and ❤Respect for #thefentonfamily. sharing this Amazing video

Here is a bit of Fenton History. I married a young man who's father lived and grew up in Marietta, Ohio across the river from the small town that was home to Fenton Art Glass. My father in laws name was Frank Fenton Duncan. I seem to remember there was some connection between them but that was so long ago.......perhaps school.....I am not sure. I do know my father in laws home was full of the beautiful vases, lamps, punch bowls, candle sticks and on and on. I suppose every home in the town was. Many of the pieces I inherited and passed them along to my daughters. A few of examples were giving to me by my husbands Grandmother......these pieces are some of the very first soft pink colored glass. They were a pair of pink milk glass baby booties not with hobnails but looked more like cut designs..She told me not long before she passed, that they were given to her when her husband, recovered a chair for Mr. Fenton. He was Mr. Collins, and he was a master upholstered and restorer. I remember it was in the depression years. I am 82 now so they are a treasure to me.

6:30 There's too many people. A 2nd blocker? If 24 people made that vase, it's not "handmade". And why does the guy that puts the handle on get to put his name on it? So many things wrong here.

I have four lamps and a lot of pieces.

I Ave been to the West Virginia glass factory several times.

Thanks so much for sharing this information!! So amazing learning about Fenton

Dang. This is wild to see

Holy shit. Thanks Shane! Got any old Reverb eps? 😂

During the pandemic, I started to go to antique shows and I encountered Fenton glass for the first time. It was so beautiful, I bought as much as I could. My favorite piece is a little carnival glass pink basket in the drapery pattern with a black carnival glass crest. I now have a big collection of Fenton fairy lamps too.

It said hobnail perfume bottles and then showed a moonstone bottle, didnt it? 🤔

Super sad they didn't make it. Sorry we let you down, Fenton.

Great video thanks for posting

4:25 that something I didn't know

Wish it was in a better resolution but is old so I get why

Think of how far our band could have gone. Apparently the kids lost sight of how important they were to the town and said the band director was too strict and then once it got to the parents it was all but over. I remember being so together as a town and all the kids working so hard at whatever it was they were doing that the band brought a lot of pride. It used to be such a proud thing to see all the kids out practicing in the yard during summer break and then to see it come together on the field just felt so good. I will forever remember the good times growing up here but it is bitter sweet knowing how much has changed. Oh yea……FIRST DOWN WILLIAMSTOWN!!

This documentary is just amazing! This is such an important part of USA art glass history. Thanks so much for posting this. I'm so glad this video will be around for generations to come so Fenton will always be remembered.

So sad that they closed down. They made such gorgeous glass!

We are big collectors of beautiful Fenton glassware. A quality family company of great skill and artistry. Milton, Ontario, CANADA

Fenton made some beautiful glass and I always enjoyed my vists to the factory to watch the making of the glass and of course to make numerous purchases.

How old is this? I thought they were only making beads now. The pieces from their past are great.

My husband always gets a piece from Fenton when we come home to WV. He’s an Indiana native and likes watching the glass blowing

Greatest toy ever made

My daughter is in there 😱😱😱

how many members were there? i think we have 28 this year not including drum major. i play clarinet right now

I hated the music for that year, I think my favorite was the year of Aztec Fire.....etc

My brother-in-law, Dave White, played football for the jackets and would have been a senior in this game. Do you have any more footage from the senior half-time? Such as footage of the football players? Thank you!

Looks so cool back then I’m in 10th grade now
