Hi. I have a question about some ruby Georgian tumblers I bought at an auction. There were 12, looking for all the world identical. Yesterday when I finally started setting them out for pix I found that 4 of them were noticeably heavier than the others, and maybe 1/8" taller (hard to see, but the weight difference was really apparent). I had assumed they were Anchor Hocking, but to my surprise found that Viking made some, as did Fenton (but only into the 40's) and Cambridge that all had the honeycomb looking pattern. Who knew? Not me, that's for sure. I think these are Viking (at least most are, at just about 4" or a tiny bit more). Have any of you handled any of these or have any info? I can't find much concrete evidence about this difference in weight. Here's the pattern. All I wanted to do was list these, now I'm embroiled in trying to figure out if they're by two different makers or two different batches, or what? There is a one ounce differential in weight. 8 of them weight 8 oz each, while the heavy ones are 9 oz (this on a package scale, maybe not accurate to the gram, but close). What would the glassies do, faced with these? I'm inclined now to just list 8 as Viking, maybe, and I dunno what with the 4.
