Scope and content
This photograph was used as publicity for the May 20, 1938 exhibition of glass in Weyerhaeuser Hall at the YWCA. On display are some of the twenty nine different patterns of glass in the collection of Mrs. Edwin Cook, including early American pieces in a wide variety of designs and shapes, early blown glass and pressed glass. Miss Geraldine Cook, left, daughter of Mrs. Cook, holds a rare dark blue hat of blown glass. It belonged to a great-great-great grandmother who lived in Pennsylvania. It is the "daisy in a square" pattern and is believed to be 200 years old. On the right is Pearl (Mrs. Hereford G.) Fitch, one of Tacoma's leading glass collectors, holding a sugar bowl of pressed octagonal flint design. (T. Times 5/19/1938, pg. 8) photograph also numbered A7279-1 & D7279-1
