    Stephen, thanks for sharing this footage. I'm thinking that last clip was the Blenko Factory as they were well-known for making stained glass. Got to visit there in the mid-1980s and saw the mountains of discard glass. Was a sight to see.

    I wish there was longer footage of historic marble manufacturers in WV, but they were all secretive with their processes so they hardly ever let anyone with a camera come in, which kinda sucks.
