What a great looking antique from a small Kansas town
, an antique pitcher that is
made with OLD milk white glass.  Actually we refer to it as OPAL glass, OPAQUE glass, CLAM BROTH, as we have heard / seen all of these terms used to describe this color and type of glass  Back in the day these souvenir glass vessels were often won at small-town fairs, or sold in small businesses to advertise the town.  A great little example here, and some KANSAS antiques are going through a period where they are
RED HOT
, especially little towns like Garden City, that there are not a lot of antique items from
.   I
f it was from my little home town, I'd buy it in a second,
check it out!
