Found an old glassblower's supply catalog from the 80s in my uncle's garage

I was helping him clean out some boxes and found a full catalog from a company called 'Sunshine Glass'. The prices blew my mind. A basic 5 pound pot of color 104 was listed at $12. I looked up what that costs now and it's over ten times that. It made me think about how the cost of just getting started must have been so different back then. Anyone else come across old prices that made you pause?

Honestly, the environmental regulations must've changed everything.

But @miaa41, hasn't the real change come from public pressure, not the rules themselves?
