The Art Of Art Glass

Are you a Fenton Art Glass Collector? If so, I have a question for you!?

I recently acquired two beautiful pieces of Fenton at a yard sale in perfect condition. I was wondering if there is any internet site or book that I could use for a price guide. I have searched ebay and found my items so I have a rough estimate on their value, but I would like to know what Fenton says about their current value. If you have any suggestions I would truly appreciate it. I am already pretty sure that my $19 investment was well worth it!

You can check on ebay under completed auctions to get a good gauge of what they are selling for.

Scream Loud!! The Fenton Story $63.18 Based in the Grand Rapids, MI, metro area, Fenton Records was not a unique phenomenon. Like many other small regional labels in the ’60s, Fenton would record any band able to cough up enough cash for a single that might be little more than a vanity pressing designed to be handed out to friends and family, given to radio, or perhaps sold at gigs. Some of these labels were little more than traps for bands; others wound up cutting some blistering rock & roll. Fenton falls into the latter camp, as its head honcho, Dave Kalmbach, was a blend of musician and mogul who wanted Fenton to be a place where local groups got the chance to see what it felt like to act like a real band by laying down tracks in a studio. Although the label never broke out of Michigan — likely never making waves outside of western Michigan, to be honest — there is a peculiar purity to the 45s Fenton rapidly released in the ’60s, as they preserve a whole gaggle of bands that were bashing out three chords for the love of the music with little hope of hitting the big time. As such, the double-disc/triple-LP set Scream Loud!! The Fenton Story — a collection of these rare, collector-cherished 45s assembled by those very same collectors — almost functions as a piece of regional folk art, capturing bands from Grand Rapids, Holland, Lansing, Muskegon, and elsewhere in western Michigan and thereby offering a specific portrait of a place, or perhaps more specifically a time. Western Michigan wasn’t that dissimilar from other areas of the U.S. in the ’60s, as there were garage bands everywhere from California to Connecticut, and they had the same influences as everybody else, but as they had no scene or sound to call their own — or even future superstars, as only guitarist Danny Gatton cut early work at Fenton — the Fenton sides illustrate just how deeply the garage rock phenomenon of the ’60s really ran. Band after band on Scream Loud!! recycle the same sounds — the tinny organ, the razor-thin guitars supported by tin can drums — and some bands even go so far as to cut faithful covers of beloved inspirations, as when the Soul Benders tear into Love’s “7 and 7 Is” with a bit too much reckless abandon. As such, much of this is generic but in the best possible sense; it may not define the genre but it embodies it, embracing all the conventions long before they turned into clichés. To anybody who isn’t an aficionado — and quite frankly, anybody who isn’t an aficionado has no business with this collection, as only aficionados will have the patience and temperament to sort through this — this may all sound similar, but this is garage rock of a remarkably high quality, as all the bands play with enthusiasm and most do distinguish themselves subtly, like how the Aardvarks mine dark grooves reminiscent of the Animals, which keeps this fascinating. Nevertheless, all those clattering guitars and organs do make the bands that depart from the norm stand out, whether it’s the Sheffields
