Spring Contest Winner
We have the results from our Spring newsletter contest , which was to name the founder of Kokomo Opalescent Glass. There were many people who had the correct answer, so the most thorough answer was by Lianna C, who noted that glass production began on November 13th, 1888 at Kokomo's new factory. Congratulations from Stained Glass Stuff for knowing your glass history. Lianna won 5 Kokomo Heads & Tails of her choice.
