Here is a reprint from a previous edition of The Collectors Newsletter:

When I retired several years ago, I started collecting Early American Prescut
Glass.  I had seen several of the colored pieces but had not purchased any. 
On an outing to Sulphur Spring, TX, I discovered a pale, yellow ashtray and
decided to buy it as a novelty piece.  All the way home, I kept thinking about
my neat find.  Imagine my surprise when the pale, yellow color washed off and
revealed a clear ashtray.  Apparently the ashtray had been used frequently
because the nicotine had given it a perfect coating.  All was not lost,
however, because I still had a new piece for my collection and a good story
about it.  Happy Hunting!
