While I enjoyed the tour and seeing how different types of glass are made, I also enjoyed photographing things that caught my eye throughout the facility. I’m an avid amateur photographer and take photographs every week. Often daily.
This cute little face was so dirty, but still fun.
I had to laugh when one of my friends said she noticed that everyone else was watching the glass blower and my camera was pointed away from her at the wall. There were cute little items made of glass here and there on the walls and most had been there for years and were dusty. They made me smile.

I also enjoyed the age of the building,
an open window in the oldest part of the factory which made scissors. I loved the age of the building and the rusty view.
the equipment that had been in use for decades,
cullet barrels that hold the scraps that are saved and can be remelted and reused. These are some barrels who have gotten many decades of use.

I wondered at times which looked better: black and white or color (of which they didn’t have much anyway).

I hope if you are ever in the Kokomo area (central Indiana), you will make have time to get there and take the tour.
