This group is dedicated to preserving the history and joy of this vintage American treasure produced by companies such as Hazel-Atlas, Federal, Anchor Hocking, Jeannette, and McKee.

I have some Apache tears sent to me by my great-uncle who lived in California. He was a rock collector and often took excursion out into the desert to collect specimens. Apache tears were small round globs of hardened volcanic glass (.a..k.a. obsidian).

Anthracite is very hard coal.
Obsidian is an igneous rock, volcanic, like glass. Natives used it for arrowheads, etc.

You know what? You are absolutely right. Sometimes you think that you find out what something about the piece that you have, only to realize that what you think it could be isn't even close to what it really is. If you guys need some help figuring out what you have, just let me know. Just drop me a line, I might be able to steer you in the right direction.

I think it is the nature of the beast - lol
All of us Collectors, dealers and just pickers - we all have items we are just not sure of - I have a shelf full. I'm unwilling to part with them, unless or until I figure out just what it is - So you'all are not alone! :)

Even with my ability to locate stuff I too have many things that remain unidentified. It's a crazy world we live in.
