The other day, my dog Cooper & Iwere watching the NY Giants Playoffgame. Actually, I was watching &Cooper was taking a nap, whichconsidering the results, is what Ishould have been doing. The Giantshad a very productive season, whichended with a badly played game. Thatone loss kind of made everyone in thearea forget what a success the restof the season was. Even worse, thedefensive players were bemoaning theoffense. While the offensive playerswere expressing discontent with theCoaching Staff, which led tomisunderstandings and hurt feelingsall around. What should have beenconsidered a rather successful yearwas being unjustly colored bymisconceptions. In the end, thegeneral perception is that the NYGiants had a bad year, and need tohave a major overhaul to be successfulnext year.
It�s amazing how one backwards step,one stumble can lead to a totalbreakdown of what otherwise was a
A Successful SeasonA Successful SeasonA Successful SeasonA Successful SeasonA Successful Season
well oiled machine. The worst part ofthis kind of situation is that feelingsget hurt, friendships are needlesslytested and a great team can suddenlystop pulling in the same direction.
Now, you are probably wonderingwhere I am going with this. Here itis, I think as an organization we havehad another fabulous year. OurMuseum is a masterpiece; ourmembership is strong & generous; wehave new publications on the horizon;The Crystal Ball (both printed &electronic) is continuing to develop;the NCC website is really somethingto see; our Glass Show, Glass Dash,Auction and educational programswere all smashing successes; ourStudy Groups are vibrant andcontinue to help educate and ourmany book sales tables around thecountry act as unmatched am-bassadors for the NCC. There is nodoubt that your Board of Directorsis incredibly hard working, caring andan extremely unselfish group. Butjust like the NY Giants, a few
missteps at the end of a sensationalyear could easily lead to a totalbreakdown, and makes us forget allthe good we have accomplished.
We have to be vigilant and not letmisunderstands lead to mis-perceptions, which in turn could leadto the breakdown of the strongest,most professional team. Offense,defense, coaching all pulling in thesame direction is what leads tochampionships. What enables thesegroups to be successful together areclear lines of communication, as wellas respect for each other. I havealways been proud to be part of NCC,because of just these reasons. I�mnot sure about the Giants next year,but I am sure about NCC. We aredefinitely on the road to thechampionship. Thank you all for beingan integral part of the NCC team.

The riseof our museum to the current level isan accomplishment in which we all takegreat pride. And, we have made stridesin the process of funding the museumoperation in perpetuity through ourendowment fund.
As the current year unfolds, we aremaking changes to reflect ourrejuvenation as an organization.Starting January 1, 2006, we have
restructured the dues and theCentury Club membership givingprograms into an integratedmembership Fund.

Notice:According to ebay and the Califor-nia Attorney General�s office, ebayfraud is on the rise. Most of thefraud has been in the sale of elec-tronics and event tickets, howeverglass is not immune.
The latest scam involves the ship-ment of worthless merchandise in-stead of what you think you bought.Then, when you complain, the �seller�says he shipped the right merchan-dise, and you�re trying to rip him off.Outrageous!
We remind you again to buy only fromsellers you know to be reputable, useescrow services on large purchasesand report all suspicious matters toebay immediately.

This month�s issue of the paper CrystalBall was printed by a different printingcontractor. In an effort to explore op-tions for improving your newsletter, theBoard of Directors authorized a one-timeexperimental issue, to pe produced by acommercial-grade print shop; a businessthat specialaizes in the production of cor-porate and organization newsletters. Thetechnology and equipment utilized by suchspeciaized firms allows for a higher qual-ity of printing, especially of images andphotographs.
The use of a commercial-grade printerdoes cost more than we currently pay forprinting of the newsletter. This month�sissue, at only 16 pages, was still a bit moreexpensive to produce than our traditional20-page issue. The Board�s challenge isto evaluate the benefits of commercialprinting versus the cost increase, consid-ering the NCC�s ability to absorb suchhigher costs.
In additon to the experimental printingchanges, we implemented some style
changes with this issue. We have changedthe basic text typeface from Univers toComic, a more contemporary typeface. Wehave also reduced the space set aside forthe masthead and the President�s Mes-sage, allowing a bit more room for cover-age of NCC activities and research ar-ticles.
Over the next few months, the Board ofDirectors will work to find the right bal-ance between improvements to the news-letter and staying within our means. Themost economical approach would be tomove towards an electronic newsletterexclusively, but for the present, the Boardremains committed to providing a paperCrystal Ball. Until such time as the use ofthe Internet by the membership is uni-versal, we will continue to provide the bestpaper newsletter possible.

What do these pieces have in common?� Royal Blue 3011 cupped comport� Tall green enamel-filled Willowetch sherbet with gold trim
� 3 Royal Blue 3011 table goblets� 4 Royal Blue 3011 champagnes� 4 Royal Blue 3011 cocktails� Royal Blue Tally-Ho cordial, etchedYukon
� Ye Olde Ivy etch Tally-Ho saladbowl
If you guessed they constitute a smallcollection of Royal Blue and someunusual etched Cambridge glass youare correct. But there is somethingelse they all have in common whichbonds (pun intended) them even morethan color. Here it is: I was involvedin breaking them all. Yep. Gone at myhand. Destroyed by me! And eachpiece hurt a lot.
How much Cambridge glass have youbroken? Come on, fess up. Everybodywho hasn�t broken Cambridge glassraise your hand. Hey, I don�t see anyhands. I�m sure there is one membersomewhere who hasn�t, but they aren�tanyone I know because everyone Iknow has smashed up some real fineCambridge glass.
Break ing Glass NewsBreak ing Glass NewsBreak ing Glass NewsBreak ing Glass NewsBreak ing Glass Newsby Mike Streblerby Mike Streblerby Mike Streblerby Mike Streblerby Mike Strebler
The heck of it is I�m pretty good athandling glass. If I figure I handlean average of 100 pieces a month, thatmakes 1,200 pieces a year whichcomes to roughly 30,000 pieces I havehandled over the past twenty fiveyears. Those touches include lookingat the collections of other members,changing homes three times, settingup the NCC auction, cleaning glass inthe museum, show purchases, showsales, mail order, phone deals, antiquemalls, eBay and finally � washing myown collection.
See... I am not the Cambridge butcherI may have appeared to be at first.None of the destruction wasintentional. Not intentional at all.Yeah, OK, some was a bit stupid on mypart. Actually most could have beenavoided with some forethought.
I�m not writing this just as therapy...maybe I need some after breakingsuch a star-filled group of Cambridgepieces. When other members tell me
stories of the pieces they broke, itdoes provide some short-term,temporary, psychiatric relief. Eachincident, my own and those I hearabout, is unique, and each one isburned in my memory.
As long as the Editor will give mespace, I would like to share some ofmy experiences associated with thedestruction of that which I sovaliantly try to preserve.
Each episode will have a story.
1. My Cambridge mentor2. Don�t ship glass in a wooden box3. Only buy as much as you can carry4. Don�t squeeze the Charmin
...and finally5. Sometimes being obsessive is a goodthing.
See you next issue. � Mike S.

On December 3rd, the North TexasCambridge Collectors celebrated theholidays with a Saturday eveningdinner and gift exchange. The eveningwas co-hosted by Jeannie andFreeman Moore along with Joyce andRalph Ryder. Our special guests wereGreg and Candy Freeman from theTexas Heisey club. People arrivedearly enough to wander through theRyder house and see the Cambridgeglass placed throughout the house.
We had �Show and Tell� while lastminute preparations for dinner werebeing made. They included: creamand sugar with Candlelight etching,ebony gold encrusted Rosepointdouble candleholder, alpine moonlightblue caprice ball jug, 3140 ebonyfooted water and sherbet, salad bowlwith silver overlay by Central Glass,11� tall heavy vase by Hoosier Glass, a1-pound Heisey covered candy withfloral decoration, and a pair of 628candlesticks with cutting and silverpattern. We also had a chance to seesome unique Heisey pieces.
After dinner, Scott Pierce introducedthe gift exchange. The rules aresimple � you select an unopened itemor �steal� an opened item. Items couldonly be stolen twice before they�re�frozen.� The challenge throughoutthe year was to find something nicefor the gift exchange worth $20, andhopefully get a bargain in the process.People unwrapped various glasses andgoblets, cups & saucers, silver overlaycaprice relish, rose chintz compote,among other items.
The next meeting will be January 22,2006 at the home of Freeman andJeannie Moore. The topic is �Be Thereand Be Square.� This is more thanCambridge Square � it is any aspect,etching, cutting, piece, etc. thatinvolves a square.

Study Group ReportsStudy Group #15North Texas Study Group
Study Group #16Elegant Glass CollectorsThe Elegant Glass Collectors studygroup met on Saturday, November12th, 2005 at the home of Walter Leein Butler, N.J. Members attendingwere Paul and Gail Duchamp, Ken andJane Fillipini, Tom Mintz, Bill andYvonne Dufft, Bob Arnold, JoanneBerringer, Myrle Scott and MillieLoucks.
Jane Fillipini, President started themeeting at 3:00 p.m. and under oldbusiness we collected money from ourlast fund raiser.
Under other business we made plansfor our next meeting as well as aprogram for the meeting. We decidedto have our Holiday Party afterDecember this year and will meetJanuary 7th, 2006.We also had a treasurer�s report andsuggestions were made for a newfundraiser. Dues for the upcomingyear were collected at this time.
We would like to give a heartywelcome to Millie Loucks from LincolnPark, New Jersey; our visitor whojoined the Elegant Glass CollectorsStudy Group festivities for the day.
Walter planned a program on OpaqueCambridge Glass. Opaque - somethingthat blocks light. Opaque glass hasbeen around since 1903 and by 1920all companies were making thisbeautiful unique glass. Walter outdidhimself with a most informativeprogram. He had many examples ofthe colors opaque were made in. Healso showed us opaque colors fromother companies and the differencebetween them and Cambridge. Someexamples of the Cambridge opaquewere a gold decorated Azurite mayo,Milk Glass Dresden Lady, Dragonenameled in black Jade Perfume Lamp,Crown Tuscan covered urn, Azurite1920�s Fluted Bud Vase and a Primrosegold decorated candy with cover.Walter made hand outs that showedthe colors and corresponding dateswhen all the Cambridge opaques were
made. What a wonderful job and weall learned so much but what elsewould we expect from a formerteacher!It didn�t end there as Walter told usto put our thinking caps on as thegames were to begin. We all played agame that included going from roomto room in his house and answeringquestions about his vast collection.Was this a test? It certainly was andeven included prizes to win! We surelearned a lot and had a great time inthe process.
Along with all the fun and informationwe gained, we also gained a few poundswith all the wonderful food we ate.What a fun day and a great time withour Cambridge friends.
Our show and tell included a blackHeart Ebony #274 decorated goldvase and #736 Peacock etched vasethat Bob Arnold brought.

Study Group #17The Columbus WildflowersOn Thursday, January 5, 2006, theWildflowers met at the home of DavidRay at 7:00 pm. Refreshments ofrelish, cracker and cheese trays wereserved, and later we had homemadebrownies with ice cream and crushedwalnuts.
The Wildflowers welcomed specialguest Jeanne Warne Frontz, and hopethat she will become part of our group.
We did not have any old businessother than to discuss that we arecontinuing our display showcases forthe museum at Penny Court for 2006,so we moved right into our program.
Our topic tonight was �The WinterBlues,� and David had set up agorgeous display table highlighting thevarious shades of Blue in Cambridgeglass, to which members added manyitems. David also provided a handoutof the various shades of blue with

starting dates of production. Webegan with the earliest �Turquoise� in1902, which was very similar to theAzurite opaque but produced earlier,and we had no physical example butlooked in the Color Book at the saltshaker and hat. We also had no sampleof �Early Royal Blue� in 1902, but saidit could be on Near Cut pattern items,or perhaps a Carnival base color. Nextwas �Azurite� in 1922, probably themost common opaque color, and westudied a Covered Candy with gold trimand Match Box holder with roughstriking bottom.
We were a little confused on �CobaltBlue 1, Cobalt Blue 2, and Ritz Blue.�We really studied the items we had infront of us, and finally determinedthat the lighter color with a littlemore yellow, as in an etched Samovar,was Cobalt 1; a Dolphin Candlestickwhich was a little darker and more likea pre-Bluebell color, was Cobalt 2(which was discontinued when Bluebellcame out). And a Decogon Comportwith #732 etch (Ritz Blue wascommonly seen on Decagon) andCovered Candy were determined to beRitz Blue. That left us with a TwistCandlestick (2 mold lines on thebottom means Cambridge, 3 mold lineson the bottom means Tiffin), and aHoneycomb footed Bowl with silveroverlay whose color really did notmatch any of the others, but the groupconsensus was that the candlestickwas Cobalt 2, and the bowl must beRitz Blue, (possibly its darker shadingwas due to the thickness of the glass).
�Bluebell� came out in 1926, (alsocalled �Tahoe Blue� when it wasreintroduced to be used on Barwaresets, Joes, and sets of Nude Stemsin color varieties) and is a brilliant bluecolor, very rich looking on a Bunny Box,Dresser Box, Georgian tumbler, NudeStem, and on both Draped Lady andGeisha flower frogs.
Next was �Willow Blue� (also calledEleanor Blue) in 1928. We had adiscussion of whether the name couldhave been changed around the time ofRoosevelt�s presidency, or that WillowBlue was the name used for all non-dinnerware and non-utilitarian items,and Eleanor Blue was used fordinnerware. We looked at a large
Draped Lady (very pale and beautiful),a covered Candy etched Cleo, and anEverglades bowl (although we had a 2nd
Everglades bowl in a different shapein �Moonlight Blue�). Willow Blue wasdiscontinued before 1936 whenMoonlight Blue began. The Caprice linebegan in 1936, so all the blue Capriceshould be Moonlight Blue whichgathers more than Willow.
�Mystic Blue� in 1930 is Willow Bluewith one side frosted as in the largeBuffalo Bowl.
Next, was the beautiful, deep �RoyalBlue� (which many people call CobaltBlue), first produced in 1931. Welooked at a #3400 Comport, multiplestems, an Ice Bucket, and Shell footVase. Our last blue was �WindsorBlue� in 1937, which went back toopaque, and has fire when held to thelight (like a blue Crown Tuscan).
In conclusion, the group felt we hadreally learned a lot about the blues,but it can still be confusing on somepieces.
We concluded the evening with Showand Tell, which consisted of a CrystalDinner Plate with Wheeling Decorating�Fox and Hounds� etch (1924-27), aKeyhole Candlestick with gold trim andWildflower etch, a set of GeorgianSundaes in a green similar to ForestGreen that may be Tiffin Greenbriar,a #1307 3-prong Candlestick withCutting on base, and a large CrystalBowl with large gold encrusted Irisand Butterfly etching brought in forID.
Our meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.Our February meeting will be at thehome of Ken and Jackie Nicol, and theprogram will be to bring inquestionable items or things you wantto have identified for the group todiscuss and try to ID.
