Hi Tom here from T&T Trading, Inc in Grand Ledge Michigan. "The Howard Family". We have been in business for over 37 years. Online our ebay name is beadmanttt. The cane is the same cane from the Prairie edge company.
A few pieces were damages but not much. This is a family tradition and will be for many years. We are a full time family business. We discussed the cane, the market and the pricing. We could have flooded the market and upset the Chevron balance so to speak but did not. One picture example is a copy we made of a strand from Africa. This was displayed at Bead & Button in Milwaukee. We have begun to teach the grandkids to grind. The different colors are a number of items. We also have Chineese cane as well as RARE Murano cane in several colors. We always market truthfully. While we are not experts we have been contracted by local & state agencies to make displays. We also deal with the Canadian government supplying our reproductions to them for a living history park. We continue to research, fuse, bend and try to do unusual things with glass. Have a Great Day. Tom
