This website was created by two Franciscan collectors who wished to share their collections
as well as information regarding Gladding McBean & Franciscan.
It is our goal to make this website informative, easy to follow and fun.
The information gathered and posted here is a result of combined years of collecting
experience, some research, help from friends and a lot of intuition.
