Chuck Williams will give us a run down on his extensive collection of glass cutters. It numbers 1400 different from around the world and is considered the most diverse and complete by one person in the world. He has collected these over the past 45 years and published a book entitled "GLASS CUTTERS with a Brief History of Flat Glass" in 2012 (available in the Skaneateles Library). He also have self printed a book(2 copies only) containing an additional 950 different glass cutters that I know are owned by others. This is for academic use only as most were gleaned from the internet over the years.
