The Rocky Mountain Depression Glass Society
Denver, Colorado
|
|
The Rocky Mountain Depression Glass Society (RMDGS) was created in the
early ‘70’s by
avid collectors interested in learning more about Depression-era
glass and china. The club
provides members with an opportunity to share examples
of their collections and exchange
knowledge about American-made glass and china.
The club’s extensive library is an excellent
source for researching information
and identifying glass and china pieces. Recently the club
has expanded their areas
of interest to include Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) as well
as Carnival
Glass. The RMDGS meets at 7:30 PM on the 3rd Tuesday of each month in the
basement
of the Epiphany Lutheran Church, 790 South Corona, Denver, Colorado. (August
is a
show planning meeting; no meeting in December.) Guests are always welcome. Further
information and/or directions are available on request. The agenda includes a short
business
meeting followed by an excellent program on Depression Era Glass, EAPG,
and/or china
collectibles. During the refreshment portion members can get a closer
look at the items
presented during the program and seek additional information fromthe presenter. Club
members also attempt to help one another in identifying
pieces brought to meetings. At
the annual show and sale, the RMDGS hosts some 34
nationally recognized dealers,
specialized displays of glass, and free glass
identification. The show is held the last full
week-end of April at the Douglas
Count Events Center in Castle Rock, CO.
