Pink Depression Glass Reminds Us
One of my favorite collectibles is depression glass by far. A site that I have noticed which covers a lot of the pricing on not only pink depression glass but also many others is pinkzaz. I had a question about an old crystal piece that my mother had, and I emailed the owner, and sure enough she had an answer for me.
I think that depression glass gives us a few reminders into the past. Right now wouldn’t be such a bad time with the economy to give consideration to our futures. How and why depression glass became so popular might just happen again if people become poor enough everywhere for it. The constant loss of jobs as well as the increase in temporary layoffs has caused the economy for the US to weaken even more.
The government has stepped in and offered some help to small business owners which is good, but where will this lead them. Will they die a slow death, or will businesses recover and be able to offer not only insurance and the other benefits that are tough to afford? We can only wait things out and hope for the best.
So next time you say depression glass, think of how it came to be, and why it is such an amazing collectible with plenty of character and natural flaw.
