Frank Grizel writes: "After many years of collecting, I have decided to sell the collection accumulated by myself and my late wife, Ruth. Included will be many pieces of contemporary American glassware made by the skilled craftsman from Westmoreland, Imperial and Fenton through all eras and many more. To complement the glassware, my remaining catalogs, advertisements and books will be up for auction. For you Heisey and Cambridge collectors, I have "The Heisey News" and the "Cambridge Crystal Ball" monthly newsletters dating back to 1978.
