Best known for writing about early American glass, this little-known collector-author left behind a focused, practical guide for enthusiasts and historians alike.

by Lenore Wheeler Williams
Lenore Wheeler Williams is credited as the author of Sandwich Glass: A Technical Book for Collectors, originally published in 1922. Surviving catalog records and library listings connect her name especially with the study of historic American glass, suggesting a strong interest in decorative arts and collecting.
Her name also appears in a 1931 auction catalog titled The Private Collection of Lenore Wheeler Williams, which describes a wide-ranging collection of furniture, glass, china, rugs, and other antiques. That record points to her not only as a writer, but as a serious collector with a particular eye for early American material culture.
Very little easily verified biographical detail appears to survive online, so the picture of her life is incomplete. Still, the books and catalogs associated with her name show a writer-collector whose work continues to circulate through libraries, reprints, and public-domain archives.
