I just found a quarter size red beach glass. It has sort of a rim around it like it was either a jar or light. Pretty cool and lots of fun finding it.

glass shards from alaska by: Anonymous
In the mid 80's my husband was fishing in Kodiak Alaska and I was beachcombing on a bay in town. instead of rocks and shells, I picked up a variety of glass shards and pottery.
I put them away thinking they had no value until today in the Parade magazine is an article on beach glass.
I have a green one, 1" with letters on it, several brown ones and the biggest is a red one, 2" in diameter, along with pottery shards. I asked a local who told me there was a bar in the 30'sup the shore, that when they finished a bottle, it was thrown out to the water. Is there any value to these pieces?
