Glass Chatroom Board

Good Morning everyone. I had a nice little sleep in this morning (8a.m daylight savings time) No phone call from sister to go out for breakfast, so I guess she was having a well deserved sleep in too.
Its going to be a hot humid day , so I made the decision to turbn on the aircon early.I had it going yesterday too . My sinuses will hate me for it LOL
Shelly @shellyrae37 it's day 3 of 2015 down here LOL Its already going fast.
BTW our petrol is $1.40 per litre so it has dropped about 30c a litre. I'll let you do the maths and work out what equates to in your system.
Clementine @clementine30 I sell on FB now too and have given eBay away. I have set up a selling page. I have my own rules and regulations NOT eBay's so I don't have to accept Paypal. All my payments go directly into my bank account so I have immediate access to it.If there is a dispute (none so far) it is me that deals with it MY way. I also have joined lots of different groups and sell through those as well. One group that is very good is a support kind of group where we all help each other promote our pages, so as the word get around. The lady that runs that group works very hard. Only thing with FB is there is really no search engine for the collector/buyer to search for preferred items they are looking for and you do need to be promoting yourself and your page on a regular basis in the different Groups, otherwise sales drop off. But I am happy with how things have been going for me.

@clementine30 ... Hi, there. This website might be of help in determining the maker of your glass. http://home.comcast.net/~mfreier/

I only sell on Ruby Lane for the most part. I belong to a couple of facebook groups and have sold an odd piece here or there but not anything I'd try very often. I've been a bit under the weather so I haven't been making any effort to sell much lately. I know KATIE seems to have great luck with Craig's List.

@itsagas BILL ... Of course, Collectibles: Advertising: Hotel ... I should have remembered. Knew it belonged somewhere in Collectibles.

@clementine30 ... http://www.restaurantwarecollectors.com/forums/misc.php?do=page&template=rwcnhome

@clementine30 ... FWIW, I think the little wine as glass stemware has little value and doesn't really matter who made it. I think the value is in the marking and should be listed in Collectibles: Historial Memorabilia. There's alot of really interesting history to that hotel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ansonia

@clementine30 Sorry no idea of the wine. The Georgian is a long story about a guy who just needs to collect something LOL.

@clementine30 and Gail this applies ONLY to the 8-9 ounce 4" roughly Georgian glasses. Before doing anything else look at the bottom for logos, Hazel Atlas, Anchor Hocking, Cambridge (C in triangle), Mosser an M either separately or in outline of Ohio, Libbey "L" are the ones I know.
1. How many pentagrams in the top row of elements 10 = Anchor Hocking. If 8 go to next step.
2. Is the middle row of shapes 4 or 6 sided. If 4 sided they are either Paden City, Cambridge or Mosser. I know of no marke4d PC tumblers and the measurement information is in
Barnett. Cambridge molds went to Mosser so indistingusible without mark and knowledge of Cambridge pastel colors. As far as I know Mosser only made dark colors and many are marked with an "M".
3.As many of these were made for the restaurant see if they stack/nest inside each other a space saver and source of nicks on the pattern edge.
4 Check each group to determine if the mold line runs across the pattern or follow the pattern lines hiding it. Now comes the fun The hidden mold are by the "elegant" makers and the across the pattern mold by machine. Colors and smaller details control. The style of base plate, thickness of the sooth base rim, height and width of the tumbler, the smooth rim etc.
Frankly unless you get interested for some reason group them by color and height for sale.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... I offer free shipping on everything. Doesn't matter how heavy it is, I just build it into my starting price.

@clementine30 ... I may be way off, but I'd just match them up according to size, put really accurate measurements for height and base and rim diameter and let people know that the Georgian pattern was made by many different companies with slight variations to the size. I could be really wrong, but I don't think it matters too much who actually made the pattern. I have a Viking book but it's not much help as it doesn't give measurements.

Seems like @george George/gabla had a comparison chart of about 14 different Georgian tumblers. I thought I had it somewhere, but can't seem to dig it up at the time.

@clementine30 … I have no idea if this is true or if I’m perpetuating a rumor, but I was told Replacements only offers about 10 cents on the dollar when buying. I would NOT list saying there are 6 available or you will get nickle-dimed to death by fees if one person buys 1, another 3, another 2. Either sell them at least in pairs or the entire lot altogether. The only time I’d do one goblet would be if I thought it would bring $35+ on its own. JMHO.

Went back to help my sister for an hour and it turned out to be 5 hours. I'm waaaaaay behind on what I need to do here at home.

@neacenacks MABLE Possum ... be sure you use 2 "S's" in Mosser. Big difference between Moser art glass and the new Mosser glass.

@clementine30 ... Sure wish I could help with your lovely little stemware, but I just have no clue.

@glassusa BOB ... did you check the trash can or the top of the refrigerator. I've misplaced tags before, and it's so frustrating.

@clementine30 ... sometimes I list one stem and sometimes I list them as a pair. Not quite certain what my reasoning is to do it one way or the other. 😐

@clementine30 ..... Welcome to the Glass Chatroom. Glad you joined us! I commented on the eBay room that I didn't have info on your Viking Diamond Thumbprint pattern. Sorry I couldn't help. I checked it on R and it looks to be very pretty in amethyst.
