Here is a reprint from a previous edition of The Collectors Newsletter:

When I retired several years ago, I started collecting Early American Prescut 
Glass.  I had seen several of the colored pieces but had not purchased any.  On 
an outing to Sulphur Spring, TX, I discovered a pale, yellow ashtray and 
decided to buy it as a novelty piece.  All the way home, I kept thinking about 
my neat find.  Imagine my surprise when the pale, yellow color washed off and 
revealed a clear ashtray.  Apparently the ashtray had been used frequently 
because the nicotine had given it a perfect coating.  All was not lost, 
however, because I still had a new piece for my collection and a good story 
about it.  Happy Hunting!
