| "Oddities" are identifiable
Depression Glassware items that, for one reason
or another, were NOT included in standard references such as Gene Florence's
Collector's
Encyclopedia of Depression Glass, (Collector's Books, latest [14th]
edition published 1999) at the time of their inclusion here. [NOTE:
Some of these items have subsequently been added to popular publications].
The term "Oddity" also applies to whimsical items produced from or with identifiable depression glass pieces. In many cases, but not all, "Oddities" are essentially "Rarities." Here are some oddities
that have come our way over the past few years:
