Ok Pat, Stuart, Dave and the rest of you glass enthousiasts.
I found another pearl of early cinema.
This time no further than my own sweet country the Netherlands.
You will love it all, some will go crazy after 9 minutes and 50 seconds.
Thank me here on the forum and give me a hug later. :)

Documentary about the glassblowing industrie in Leerdam, The Netherlands.
Various stages of the production process are shown.

I am just too good for this world,
Erik

Erik,
An awesome find. Thanks for sharing with us. I saved it as a favorite, my glass friends will thank you too!
I will be studying it very closely for details. Truly a treasure for hot glass enthusiasts.
Please find more, you are very good at finding these bits.
(bowing) Pat :P

HA Ha Larry,
They all drive around like there are no traffic laws, very much like you see today with frigg'n cell phones hangin' in their ears!
I'll bet if you showed this to attorneys nowadays, they would salivate at the litigation opportunities!

Wow, kids working... and learning. Nice video Erik.

Larry... No seatbelts, no laws, freedom as it was meant to be. Nice time to live in.

Slower Horse Traffic, Please keep to the Right!

Wow! What a Scenic Delight! And the Music!

This is the closest we will have to a time machine.
Just wish the camera man was a little more focused on the signs.

When doing research of the time period...there were quite a few deaths from people stepping in front of streetcars.
Now I know why...no cross walks. I didn't even see any street lights or street signs.
And did you see the Cop with the night stick. Get along Boy, or I'll beat you senseless!

Here is how it all looked the next day....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oieSSIC_4JI&feature=channel

Oh so Sad.
