Do you know of an online store that will sale all the Spectrum and
Kokomo glasses to a hobbyist? If so, I would appreciate the link.
This weekend I went through glass samples from both manufacturers and
found some that I want but they aren't all available at Glass
Crafters, the last place I bought glass from.

Thank you, Michael

I don't know that many online shope that would have the entire line of
Spectrum let alone the line of Kokomo. I think Specrrum must have over
500 types of glass and if I recall, Kokomo has three times that. Most
retail shops should be able to order the specific glass for you the
next time they order. I do that all the time. The only problem is that
I usually have to order a full sheet and if it's some sort of odd ball
that I know won't sell then the customer takes the whole sheet.
Sometimes I can order partial sheets and if it's possible I do that. I
think you can order direct from Kokomo but the shipping and boxing
will kill ya!

Thank you for responding. I guess I'm interested in a subset of every
they make. I want to be able to get anything they have in their
sample boxes. The sample boxes I looked at had maybe a couple hundred
samples each. I'll see if Glass Crafters will order it for me.

Thanks, Michael

Well hell Michael, that all any of us want, I go to Kokomo's factory quite
often, and even they don't have everything in their sample box. that would
be foolish on their part. Why stock something that isn't going to move out
the door, some of it will just sit, some of it you can't keep enough around.

If you are in Indiana you owe it to your self to take a trip to Kokomo, they
are on Market street just on the east edge of town, just south of whatever
road it is that comes in from Gas City. There you will see more than you
have imagined, of course, the op shop is where you will buy from, so unless
you take the tour, you won't see the warehouse. Visit their web site,
KOG.com and find out what day they have the tour, and go buy all the
beautiful glass you want.

Where are you located? Have you tried a local SG shop for ordering?
Personally I don't want too much to show to customers. It makes it that much
harder for all of us to choose. Keep a sample set, and just order what you
need.
