Don't be depressed about yo glass.

The awesome thing about depression glass is that even thought it was originally created during the great depression it brings good times to many of those who collect it in these current days. It was originally thought of to make customers during the great depression good times by giving them something for free. That worked in a way, but because of everything else going on, it didn't do much in the big picture. The one important thing it did was drive business and got human beins out there buying things again which was one of the ways that we got out of the depression ultimately.

Depression glass really comes in a variety of different shapes and sizes. It can range from dark colors such as black, to lighter colors such as pink, or even clear. It was valued at next to nothing when it was first made, but has since then become a true collector's item and many customers bid high prices on it. It can really tell you a lot about itself because when it was first made it was everywhere, even given away to human beins just so they would set foot in a store. So many stores were going out of business that they had to figure out something to get by with. This helped them give incentive to individuals to come in and look around, because we all know sometimes even if you weren't originally planning on buying something, as soon as you set foot in a place you might see something you like and then violah, you've bought it. That was the theory behind depression glass. Hey, come into our store, we will give you this completely free piece of glass that you can bring home and show to your family and they will all think you are amazing.

When you do decide you want depression glass you need to be sure that you are super careful with it because it is obviously fragile, obviously since it's called glass being in the name, but especially more importantly it's not going to be along the same lines as your regular dishes. You don't want to eat out of it, or serve any type of food unless money just grows out of thin air for you, and in that case, go for it. There is a rule of thumb that if what you are eating on would make you be sad if you broke it, it shouldn't be used for food. It's a good rule of thumb and something I would say you should follow.
