Part of the 100 year celebration includes a historic auction of pieces dating back to 1907, when Fenton first opened.

Two Fenton collector groups are donating 50 pieces each for the auction, and the company is submitting another 50.

"We've got some great pieces here representing every facet of Fenton's rich history of making hand made art glass. There's some sample pieces and unusual color treatments. I tell collectors, you need to come and see it," says Assistant Fenton Historian Jim Measell.

The pieces are currently on display at Fenton glass, but Sunday they will be moved to Marietta College for the auction.

Viewing will start at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Dyson-Baudo Recreation Center. The auction will start at 6 p.m.
