Short History of Mr. JOHN GENTILE Mr. John Gentile (1923-2006) was born into a glass making family with his father Peter being the first. John became well known in the world of glass paperweights. John started the glass business in 1947 in Star City, West Virginia. He mainly catered to the tourist trade but over the decades that he worked with glass he perfected his paperweight trade skills and produced some very nice, interesting, and technically challenging paperweights. He was one of the first American paperweight artists to incorporate snakes and lizards. He worked with glassmaker Henry C. Johnson who made the snakes that John encased in glass. When John died in 2006, the company closed it's doors shortly thereafter. ABOUT ME I am first and foremost a collector of many different types of antiques.
