Susan,

I'm not sure if Wheaton Village in New Jersey uses museum/historic
equipment. They are a glass studio modeled after an original 1888 factory.
Other crafts are demonstrated on site in various workshop buildings. I
suggest you contact them to find out about the equipment.

In any case it's a really cool place...
