Subject: Vitrolite and Carrara glass


>Searching for information, books, original research, etc. on Vitrolite and
>Carrara pigmented structural glass.  Extremely popular for store fronts in
>the 1920's, 30's, and 40's.  Commonly found on Art Deco-style buildings.
>I'm especially interested in suppliers of the stuff (yes, I know that it
>isn't made any more), care of, preservation of, and replacement of such
>material.  Primary sources especially appreciated, including advertisements
>and production/sales literature.  I'm also extremely interested in its use
>in historic movie theatres.  I already have a copy of Preservation Brief
>#12.
