"The Clevengers' glass has earned considerable notoriety among enthusiasts of early American glass for its ability to blur the boundaries of what a reproduction is supposed to look like," says Haunton, who resides in Wilmington, Mass. "Last Links is the first book to document the prodigious output of this small company."
