This one-of-a-kind book describes some 1400 different glass cutters
collected from around the world by the author during the past 35
years. A brief history of flat window glass describes its
manufacture, application, taxation, etc. from the time of the
Romans, through France and England to the United States. The early
use of flint tools and grozing yrnes for cutting and shaping the
glass is noted. These tools were used for shaping the stained glass
in the early cathedrals. Five hundred U.S. glass cutter patents and
28 U.S. glass cutter design patents beginning in 1860 through 2009
are listed by date, inventor, and title. A list of corporate,
product line, distributor, etc. names are also described further as
being in one or more of the 23 "Style Categories" the author has
set up that show pictures of 600 cutters and detailed descriptions
of all 1400 different glass cutters. An extensive bibliography is
