Early glass will include a selection of rare pattern molded wares, colored candlesticks and vases. Flint glass includes extensive collections of Bellflower, Washington, Ashburton, and ale glasses. Non-flint EAPG will feature a large group of Iowa City glass, an extensive collection of Three Face, rare animal and historical patterns, ruby and other stained, the Kleppinger collection of chocolate glass and many cake stands.

An uncatalogued session, and therefore not available to Internet bidders, will be held on Sept. 22. More than 6,000 pieces of glass will be sold without reserve over the two days.

Company president Jeffrey S. Evans commented, “We conducted our first all-glass auction in the fall of 1995, and it has continued to be a major gathering of glass lovers from across North America for 22 years. It is a great mix of individual rarities that appeal to the advanced collector, as well as large groupings of more common wares that are great for everyday use or the beginning collector.” He added, “A dealer or decorator can attend this sale and buy enough stock to last all year . It is a great opportunity.”

The gathering will include a glass show/sales room and club meetings at the Courtyard Marriott in Harrisonburg, and special lectures at the Evans gallery in Mt. Crawford.
