    Scratching around for questions now - hope I haven't asked this one before. <laugh>

    What was printed in The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian in 1824 - the first of its kind?

    Perhaps a clue is needed. It is the bricks in the Empire State Building that are the important bit.

    Can't work out where the Tiffany Glass fits in - the link for Mingoia & the Empire State Building is Accrington, Mingoia plays for them & the bricks used to build ESB were Accrington bricks.

    I'll give it to you, BB. The largest collection of Tiffany Glass in Europe is in the Accrington Museum.

    Edit. The bricks are known as Nori bricks because of their high iron content. They were supposed to be stencilled "Iron" but the person who did it originally got it back to front.
