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.
