Bob Smith’s Carnival Tumbler Museum
Bob Smith was our dear friend. He was a dedicated researcher and collector, with whom we worked collaboratively over very many years. Bob built the finest and most comprehensive Carnival Glass tumbler collection in the entire world. The collection was his life, built as a legacy to be kept intact, according to his stated wishes, as a “study / reference” collection for future generations. In 2011 Bob honoured us with a bequest - the ownership of his beloved Tumbler Collection, writing “I can’t think of another person or collector who would keep the collection together … so you will get them.” |

We committed to Bob that the Tumbler Collection would never be sold or broken up and that we would share it online with Carnival and glass collectors through The Bob Smith Carnival Tumbler Museum. This "virtual" museum will amaze and fascinate all collectors, and spread the beauty of Carnival Glass tumblers. All thanks to the indomitable Bob Smith.
Sadly Bob passed away in November 2017, but it gives us considerable comfort that he was able to see his Museum take shape. When we showed it to him, he wrote: "Absolutely Beautiful. I don't have enough words to tell you how pleased and happy with what you have done. That must have taken some time. After you have it ready for everybody, you are going to have emails galore. For myself, I just can't come up with all of the wonderful words it deserves."

We also get very excited about Pressed Glass from the late 1800s - early 1900s period, and we are developing a Glass Potpourri feature about it: there may even be a link to Carnival Glass (but that's not always essential). Check it out with this link to Glass Potpourri.
