This book answers questions that have puzzled EAPC collectors for years, including:
Why aren’t there matching creamers and sugar & creamer trays for the colored sugar bowls?
Is there a matching lid for my honey gold or laser blue large candy bowl?
What EAPC pieces were issued in color and what colors?
Is EAPC Dishwasher Safe, Microwave Safe, Lead Free?
Why do some collectors call the pattern Star of David?
Why were the Rose-Lilac platters and divided platters only issued in Australia and not the United States?
… and many, many more.
Kudos to Tina Spain McDuffie and Nancy Hobbs for Chapter 8 in the book! Those ladies know how to dig for information. I tried many times to find out more about Coles Store in Australia and came up with very little. They came up with so much more! I won’t give it away, you need to get the book! 🔥

What EAPC collectors are saying about Early American Prescut Glass by Tina Spain McDuffie:
If anyone out there is still trying to decide whether or not to purchase Tina’s book. Think no more, and treat yourself! It is so informative, very interesting, and useful too!
Let me share one way it’s helped me already. I found a Salad Maker Set for sale the other evening. You can see in the photo, the picture only showed the closed box. I know nothing about the sets, and Tina’s book was so helpful. If you use the Index (which I didn’t realize was in the book at first), you can look up ANY item and find every page your item in question is mentioned on.
I was able to look up the “Salad Maker Set” and read all about it! There are pictures to show what is included and a spec table giving specific info about the contents. I learned from the spec table that the salad fork and spoon (the biggest interest for me) could be one of three styles depending on what year the set was made.
And that’s not all… Chapter 10 of the book helped me identify the box in the photo as a Classic style. Those were used between 1965 and 1971. Taking that info back to the spec table for the set, I learned the set I was seeing would either have a faux wood fork and spoon or they would be black satin.
You can also look up “salad fork and spoon” and quickly find the page that includes pictures showing what each of them looks like.
I don’t think there’s ANYTHING Tina left out of this EAPC bible. You cannot fathom how informative it is until you take a look for yourself. I am so impressed and amazed by her work. I give her an A+.
