Treasures Can Still Be Found

While going through a small local antique show on the Prescott Courthouse
Square in my home state of Arizona, I found this McLaughlin made Reamer. In Fred
Padgett's book, "Dreams of Glass", on page 170 you read that this was
the "PURE GOLD" mold that Williams McLaughlin changed to read "RE
GO". lt is embossed "McLaughlin Glass Co, Los Angeles, Calif" and
is a great cornflower blue that matches the McLaughlin insulators perfectly. As
a reminder to readers, treasures are still out there waiting to be found.
