Family ' Makes Glass Eyes f$r Four Centuries By Thomas J. Foley MONTGOMERY, Ala. (INS) Henry Greiner has a "background of 400. years to call on -in his pro fession which is making glass eyes. The profession, or art as Greiner prefers it called, has been handed down from father to son in his family for four centuries and Greiner has no intention of break ing the chain. Born In Germany He has been in the United States for 29 years. His home was in Lauscha, Germany, known for cen turies as the eye center of Europe. Greiner says that these days, there are very few eye makers left. Most, he says left from 30 to 50 years ago to go to England, France and the United States. Greiner makes his headauartr in New York. He used to travel all over the country but for th past few years has Cut his terri tory down to Tennessee. Nnrth Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ala bama and Louisiana. He spends about four months out of the year in as to 40 cities In these states. The rest Of the time Greiner i in New York. There h ha a lie of 25,000 persons in the U.S. who nave only one eye. And it's there that he's teach ing his son how to make the eyes just as his father taught him when he was 13 years old. He imports a special class from Switzerland for the eyes. He shapes about four or five eye baubles from each foot-long cry stal tube he imports. All Colors Then Into the front of one o.f these spheres he attaches an iris. This, Greiner explains, is the most ticklish part of the whole business. Since no two persons have eyes alike, thousands of different color ed iris must be made. ; All shades of colored glass-al-so imported from Switzerland are blended to try to match as per fectly as possible the hue in the gcyod eye of a person, i H On i the road, Greiner carries sefral eyes with him. Then he can fix up a client in about one hour. Making the eye takes about 30 minutes and cooling it after the shaping, and fitting takes another 30.
