Do you know of an online store that will sale all the Spectrum and
Kokomo glasses to a hobbyist? If so, I would appreciate the link. This weekend I went through glass samples from both manufacturers and found some that I want but they aren't all available at Glass Crafters, the last place I bought glass from. Thank you, Michael |

Thank you, Michael I don't know that many online shope that would have the entire line of Spectrum let alone the line of Kokomo. I think Specrrum must have over 500 types of glass and if I recall, Kokomo has three times that. Most retail shops should be able to order the specific glass for you the next time they order. I do that all the time. The only problem is that I usually have to order a full sheet and if it's some sort of odd ball that I know won't sell then the customer takes the whole sheet. Sometimes I can order partial sheets and if it's possible I do that. I think you can order direct from Kokomo but the shipping and boxing will kill ya! Andy |

I want to be able to get anything they have in their sample boxes. The sample boxes I looked at had maybe a couple hundred samples each. I'll see if Glass Crafters will order it for me. Thanks, Michael |

Thanks, Michael Well hell Michael, that all any of us want, I go to Kokomo's factory quite often, and even they don't have everything in their sample box. that would be foolish on their part. Why stock something that isn't going to move out the door, some of it will just sit, some of it you can't keep enough around. If you are in Indiana you owe it to your self to take a trip to Kokomo, they are on Market street just on the east edge of town, just south of whatever road it is that comes in from Gas City. There you will see more than you have imagined, of course, the op shop is where you will buy from, so unless you take the tour, you won't see the warehouse. Visit their web site, KOG.com and find out what day they have the tour, and go buy all the beautiful glass you want. |

Thank you, Michael Where are you located? Have you tried a local SG shop for ordering? Personally I don't want too much to show to customers. It makes it that much harder for all of us to choose. Keep a sample set, and just order what you need. -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

Keep a sample set, and just order what you need. *********** I'm in southern Indiana. Bloomington. Indiana University and all that. I'm actually a little ways out into the country, with an address to a town about 15 miles away from Bloomington called Bloomfield. The nearest glass store is in Bloomfield and it's only a short 20 minute drive for me. He's really a great guy but he also has a printing business in the same room and I've seen plenty of other customers when I am there but never anyone but me interested in the stained glass portion. I ordered some glass from him about a week after I got back from vacation in July and he still hasn't placed the order. At the time he told me it would be three weeks. I have gotten glass online but ordering from pictures is really marginal. It's hard to tell how clear it is and the dominant color, etc. Thanks, Michael |

Three weeks to get the glass. Not three weeks before he would place
the order. He's running close to two months overdue. I'd like to get the glass to build that transom window I put together way back when. Michael |

Thank you, Michael Is there no SG store in " India-no-place?" Or Cincinatti? Even living in Atlanta, there's a dearth of SG stores to pick from. I can only think of two in the immediate metro area and another two on the far suburban fringes. Of course, there's Armstrong's outlet store also. As you probably have noticed, the 3x3 samples aren't always the same as the real sheets when you see them in person. |

Michael As a retailer I can sympathieze...with the cost of fuel/freight today, I have to wait till I have at least a full crate's worth of glass to order. Even getting glass shipped, cut down and in a cardboard box hardly makes it worthwhile to do small special orders anymore...and I have to make a living or at least something close to it. Andy |
