If you have been collecting carnival glass for several years and attended many auctions you can remember JOHN & LUCILE BRITT and ELEANOR HAMILTON and you may also include CARL & EUNICE BOOKER. Any time one of these pieces that was usually referred to as a “ MINIATURE” came up at an auction you knew that one or the other of these collectors was going to end up the successful bidder. They drew attention to this area of carnival glass collecting and made these items a popular item to add to your collection.  For more information, click here to visit our Education page.
