Discovering Moser Glass

Tuesday May 19, 2009
One of my collecting friends discovered vintage costume jewelry because of her maiden name. She foraged flea markets, antique shops and online auctions until she put together a great collection, and every piece is signed "Emmons." In the same vein, my mother discovered many moons ago that a very beautiful and desirable type of antique glass was made by "Moser," a familiar name nestled in our own family tree. While we don't always associate collecting with genealogy, you never know what's going to turn up. Read Discovering Moser Glass to find out how family names can lead to intriguing collections.

(1) Moser says:

I am a Moser descendent and am wanting to collect a few pieces to hand down to my 3 children eventually, after I enjoy them first. Any suggestions where to look? Other than online, or online sites you reccommend?
