Oh my gosh, @carma Carma, is that a mama moose and her calves? They are the cutest little things. I guess they don't stay little for very long.

And just in case he drops by (although he may not have any power right now), @jagofc Tony, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@jagofc Hi, don't know why the thumbnails didn't open for you, they still did for me. The green twist stem is Tiffin with Luciana etch.

@jagofc Sure you can use the picture, also the one of the rack if you want to show them that. I can also take a better picture of any, just let me know or they can contact me.

@jagofc Hi, yes the red set is Morgantown Arena and I found them in the wire rack, which amazed me!
The tumbler is 5 1/4" tall and the jigger is 2 1/4" tall. http://i41.tinypic.com/wjvuw2.jpg
Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's taken a long time to get so many items.
Janice

Shelly @shellyrae37 I don't know how many will be going. I was told by some of the sellers who went one last year that it wasn't a big one but the ppl came and they did spend and everyone was happy with their takings. I have been & stayed at that town a few times.We used to go for rides to there and stay at one of the pubs.
Tony @jagofc thanks. It seems lately I have been getting bad news after bad news and cancer is all around me. I think that happens to most of us, we seem to get a run of bad news and then everything settles back to normal.
Julie

@jagofc
Tony,
I am glad you had such a nice WE, it sounds wonderful, we have Rain today, but it will warm up later in the week, if DH is up for it we are planning a coast ride, he has not been on the Harley yet, it's been just 3 weeks, we will see.

@jagofc : Beaded Shell is a real good pattern to stay away from if you're not 100% sure. Twenty five to 30 years ago, it was a GREAT seller & in high demand by collectors. The massive reproductions have almost totally destroyed it's saleability now. Yes, it has been extensively repro'd in Carnival in Amethyst, Marigold, White, Ice Blue Opal, Ice Green Opal, Pink, Canary Yellow, Emerald Green, Ice Blue, Ice Green......you name it! It has also been repro'd in Opalescent colors, and in a variety of non-iridized and non-opalized colors. Also in Custard Glass, some of which has a phony Northwood (N) mark, made by Wright.

Good morning, glassies. Thought I'd check in before I head out for the day. Had a sale last night, not big, but put me in a bit of a better humor because right now is day 3 of someone who has NOT paid for a purchase. 🙁

@carma CARL .... did not know that about the opalescent feet on the Mosser. Really glad to learn that tip.

@jagofc TONY ... so glad you are getting in touch with the Morgantown group. I'm just so sorry, but that Morgantown book is just the devil for me to try to use. I guess since a lot of the designs in their Decor line, are so sleek, plain, and modern, with no particular pattern then trying to match a piece with just black and white photos makes it nearly impossible for me.

Well, need to finish packing my sale and head out to post office, then WalMart, then home to make posters and decorations.....

Good morning, glassies.

@scott SCOTT ... I agree things balance. I've bought a hundred things that I've paid way too much for...and a hundred things I got for a steal. Each is a learning process and things do balance as I learn from it.

@decoqueen JANICE & @jagofc TONY ... sure was glad to be able to bookmark to favorites the Houze sites. It already helped me ID one item I had.

Have to go get ready for Tai Chi class. See you all later.

@jagofc
Imperial Glass is a vast subject, LOL
Good luck!
Fran

@jagofc

A. Round ,Oval

R. Rolled over and down
S. Square
TB. Tid- Bit

It says not all the letters were found on the list.

@jagofc TONY ... thanks for helping. I was looking at Replacements at the 400 42/3 ... there's so many pieces that look so much alike that it just confuses the heck out of me. 😯

@jagofc TONY … no, you are not pushing. I love looking stuff up in the books. Just that Gallager’s book is a little harder to read than most. I just went through it for the rolled etch console bowl and there was nothing like it in the book. There was only one bowl with a slight rolled edge to it in the entire book…and it was only slighly rolled. Nothing fully rolled like yours. Will check for the tumbler in the morning.

@jagofc TONY ... Let's hope someone familiar with Morgantown can come and ID it straight away. Have you ever seen a copy of this book? It's a real toughy to try to ID from it...at least it is for me. Everything in the book is in black and white and the photos are layed out in kind of random sizes, shapes, and placements. I will try looking tomorrow when I'm a bit fresher. 🙂

@jagofc TONY ... yes, I have that book.

@jagofc TONY ... Glad Sue corrected things. I should never have tried to ID that. I was so tired that I posted and then went to lay my head down...and now, 4 hours later, just woke up! 😯

@ginnyrose CAROL ... lovely powder jars but I'm sorry I don't know the who, what or when of them.

@jagofc Maybe Mosser Glass

Been working all day at church. We are busy bees preparing for our huge Oktoberfest in a week and a half.

@jagofc TONY ... I believe the decanter set is Imperial's STAR AND FILE.

@suzy SUZY ... glad to hear you are enjoying the coffee. Thanks.

@sunwoman3663 JANICE ... So glad to hear all is going well with your DD. And yes, I talked with Kathy's mom today and her surgery also went well. So very pleased for both of the girls.

@jagofc: Have a safe trip, and I hope, a dry one. Driving to Western MD is not a pretty thing in the rain.

JimD

Good morning, glassies. Gee, another late start for me this morning. Slept in way too late.

@jagofc TONY ... Oh, thanks so much for posting @newplace Marymelodee's auction! Terrific finish, Marymel, and happy dancing for you!

@10bbg10 HELEN ... so sorry, but I'm going to need a picture. I was laughing trying to think like an architect to build the item from your description, but it was just not working for me. Would love to see a pic. 😀

With this "mention" feature... We all have TWO ID's here.... our log-in ID ... and our display name. For some of us that is the same. For others they are different. The mention or @ name only works with our log-in name. So for you I have to use 10bbg10 rather than Helen; for me, it is songbreeze, rather than oklahomasong_Gail. However for those whose log-in and display are the same, it's easier... maryb is Maryb, fran2 is Fran2, reen is Reen...

@jagofc: Hi Tony.. Got rain??
JimD

@jagofc No Tony come baaaack....of course you didn't offend me, I was just teasin' ya!...lol. Heck I agree with you...that blue really is gorgeous! I agree with you in that the custard doesn't look like much either to me...until it is lit up with the UV light...then I just swoon over it!...lol

Wow I am so glad I checked in here tonight as the conversation turned out to be pertinent to me. It's funny but all I was going to do was give Tony a hard time and say @jagofc Tony how could you possibly say that this was boring?

Beautiful blue set by the way Scott!! What is really interesting is I found this last week in a cute little eclectic shop of new stuff sprinkled with some old stuff and was buying something out of the front case and the owner said "oh that case over there is also 20% off" and I turned around and saw this beauty sitting there! I was excited as I love glowee glass and KNEW this was a Northwood custard piece that I had to take home with me. My quandry at the moment is to keep or sell. BUT...here is the pertinent part. When I went to try and find the pattern and was researching on ebay, I saw a set...this pitcher and 5 glasses and the seller had it listed as Lous XV, and then I searched that and found a bunch of other pieces listed the same, from different sellers. SO....I assumed that that WAS the pattern...until NOW. I thought it seemed odd that, since I did think the flower WAS a chrysanthemum that it would be called Louis XV. Then when Gail & Scott said it was Chrysanthemum Sprig that sure sounded like what it should be called! Now....my question is, was it maybe ALSO known as Louis XV, or all those sellers on ebay incorrect? Sorry for such a long post but I was excited when I saw this conversation tonight!

@jagofc TONY ... don't know if it's happening only to me, but it seems like I get a bit of a refresh lag if the posts are close together. I complete missed Tom's original ID to Carol and only now see it. Well at least I now have the Shari story straight. 🙂

@jagofc TONY … oh heavens to Betsy! … I’m just rushing too fassssssssst this morning. Better just go slow down, get a cup of coffee, sit down…and take a deep breath. How did I miss seeing The Treasure Port in that post. Knocking my forehead with the heel of my hand……

@lmk3491 LYNDA ... that is so funny! I was messing around getting my coffe gif ready for tomorrow and did not realize I had inadvertently posted it to the board! 😀

@jagofc TONY ... Thanks so much for looking. I only have one oil lamp book and I couldn't find it in it. I rarely ever pic up oil lamps since I know so little about them. I have 2 that I found in the book...and 2 that I didn't find. The other one is a small one too and I'll have to post it when I get a picture taken of it. Thanks again for checking.

Good morning, glassies.

Gee, I was reading about all of the terrible flooding this morning. I hope all you East Coasters are faring OK. Scott, I guess you are in the thick of it. And Tony, now I understand your concern in traveling yesterday to see JimD.

@jagofc TONY ... Regarding seeing the Crown Tuscan...I love it when I can finally see in person something I've only seen pictured in books. It sure makes a difference particularly in being able to either recognize the piece again or in remembering it. I love the frog link. That is one beautiful little frog with all those carnival glass colors to it.

Mim & Don... you save some of that banana bread for me too!

Got a lot of glass I need to tag and get to the mall today, so I better get moving.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... wishing you the best of luck...and a lot of FUN... at your swap meet.

@jagofc TONY & @newtonenterprises JIMD ... aw, wish I could be there with you all. Sure enjoyed my time last December treasure hunting with JimD and his DW. Hope to be back in that direction maybe next Spring/Summer as there is a new grandbaby who will make her debut about that time. 🙂

@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... since there are a few members here who do not frequent the eBay Glass Chat, thought I'd post your listing here and try (sans gifs) to do a happy dance

@jagofc ; we are in the highlands here and not much local flooding. You will be OK if you come on I95 to exit 77 Md Rt 24.

@jagofc
Hi Tony ,
The plate is the 400/40 3 pc. Mayo Set liner plate.
The Heart Handle is 400/149D Handled Mint Tray
Fran

@sellingthings: I am already one step ahead of you , I have everything on Portable hard drives. I wish the driver problem was so easy.
@jagofc:Tony... Thursday sounds OK for me. I just hope that I have my office back in shape. Everything that I touch need a new driver due to windows 7. Microsoft does not understand the words compatible and universal.

@jagofc
Iam here what's up?
Heading out shortly for a Harley ride with friends, we were going to the Beach, but it's all fogged in, so we will be going south east, I think~
Fran

Tony @jagofc enjoy your weekend.
I know there will come a time when I will have to move from here. I am hearing you about liking the idea but being a bit scarey. Excited yet apprehensive. I am going to wait till I have all the collections down to just a few special items. I am sure if I mentioned to my friends now, to come help me move, they would all somehow magically be away on holidays ..raoflmao. So I'll be here for a few more years yet.
Julie

Good Morning everyone
Tony @jagofc Try to think of the move as a new adventure. BUT I would dread all that packing and moving.
Gail @songbreeze I have sold to Moscow Pete. That was some years back now and he was very lovely to deal with.
@scott nice items
Leah @goodwinantiques haven't had a chance to look at your glass yet, but later today I am going to make time. I am expecting a phone call from my sister any moment now. She usually gives me about 10 mins notice, that she wants to go out for breakfast LOL
Julie

@jagofc got it, sent a return message, which got caught in your spam filter... JimD

@jagofc sounds like Oakland or Cumberland. Don't throw away any snow shovels.
They still will have internet out there, and you can look at it as uncharted territory as far as glass shopping is concerned.. Still... not ot sure that I could stomach the nasty winters.
JimD

@jagofc : Nice bowl combination. If you get the time to visit, I'll have to hide my Cambridge 3011 nude collection... <;^)

@goodwinantiques LEAH ... For 7 years Fran/dbfrogs posted the morning coffee on the eBay Chatroom. It helps us determine on a long scroll when night ends and a new day of postings begin. Fran always has cute frogs with her coffee pot. I must find a mascot to go with the coffee here. 🙂 But man, it's taking a lot of time just trying to round up different pics for the coffee alone. Might do a cat and dog search at some point.

Also, Leah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses that wonderful "delete" feature that Curt has available here. I use it ALL the time. Particularly if I find I've posted something and then immediately have a second post. I like to copy the info, delete the two posts and combine it into one post. Also, I like to correct spelling or grammar (when or if I know my error which isn't always...:) )

Vouch for DON/donscns? hmmmmmmmm, ROTFLOL. Absolutely. He's a dear to keep our Welcome Post updated. A link to your glass collection would be a wonderful addition.

@jagofc TONY .... lovely little EAPG Compote made in 1911 by Indiana Glass Co. called PANELED HEATHER (#126)

Tony is your nekid lady something called LADY ON THE STUMP? Don't remember the exact name for her. Just exquisite.

@fyrqueen KATIE ... Do you have this website bookmarked? It's where many of go first to check for an etch. I'm a bit on the run this morning, so no time to go through it. But type in +etch +swag and see what the search pulls up. Might try some other combinations of search too ... http://clicksnipwow.com/chataboutdg/

@jagofc TONY & @newtonenterprises JIMD … Glad Irene has moved on and is now out of your area. Reading about more than 2 million people without power, Jim, you must be counting your blessings this morning that you’ve not lost power.

@carma CARL … I thought I read where the worst of it for your area was expected to arrive later this afternoon or evening. I know you’re prepared for it, but still can hope it weakens or veers before it reaches your area.

@jagofc TONY and @newtonenterprises JIMD ... and anyone else in the path of Hurricane Irene. Sure hope you all will check in as soon as you can and let us know if you are faring OK.

@jagofc: unless the weather guessers are wrong, we should get lucky and this thing will stay over the Atlantic as it passes us, especially if it bounces off the NC coast. Be prepared , you can't tell what it may do, although we are certain to get a lot of precipitation. I have my bananas, toilet paper, and batteries, although i have an auxiliary generator if the power goes out. JimD

@jagofc You are supposed to go to the mountains in the summer...

@jagofc: Wondering why your DW needs 4WD in your area. Maybe she should use the money to install a tank turret.
JimD

Very pleased that the AT&T man came and checked the line for my DSL as I was having way slow time with things loading on the computer. Now it's TONS faster. So pleased.

@jagofc TONY ... oh ouuuuucchhhh! Man that hurts!

@fyrqueen KATIE ... I googled every which way I could think of for that bottle with those measurement marks. Glad Tony knew what it was.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... have you decided whether you are going to do the swap meet this weekend or are you just cleaning and sorting just routinely?

105° today....sweltering.

@jagofc
Not much about your damage here on our news, I am glad you are OK!
That is not a small quake even for here, but we are more prepared.

@fran FRAN … I agree with Suzy…you just have so much fun! Sounds delightful.

@suzy SUZY … Yep, I may have to put coffee on a little early as I’m yawning in spite of a nearly 3-hour afternoon nap. The good thing about this room is that I can delete a post and therefore put on a fresh pot later in the morning if I need to. 🙂

@jagofc TONY … You and Don are two peas in a pod. I warned Don if he didn’t stop buying display cases he was going to have to buy another house to fit it all into. Looks like that has already happened to you if you have a place in the country to take your extra glass! 😀

@10bbg10 HELEN … sounds super to have your very own peach tree. Well I guess it’s not your ”very own” if you have to try to get there before the squirrels and racoons! 😯

@jagofc ......Tony Just add another shelf. Break out the drill and make new holes, get another glass shelf and "Presto" more space. But yeah, it only works about once or you have to buy more "smalls". lol
***Don

@jagofc Oh heck yeah..We have friends working at the pentagon and elsewhere in DC, and driving over there every day.. Not for me though.. I retired to get off the road..
JimD

@jagofc: I am just off I-95 at exit 77.

Well I am all packed don't think I can fit another thing into the van
@fyrqueen Katie the beauty of the motor home is that it is all packed inside, so I look just like a normal traveller on the road, till you open the door LOL. My reference to me feeling like Ellie Mae was with the cat and the dog following me around all the time LOL
@jagofc Tony..we all must dream 🙂

A little late on the frog this morning. Had to do car maintenance thing.

@jagofc : Tony : I am out in the hinterlands in Harford County near Bel Air.

@jagofc TONY ... thanks for letting me know the Crown Tuscan was a card receiver. I wasn't quite certain what it was. I don't think I posted it here...just on the eBay chat. I'll post it here should anyone want to see my pretty...:)

@jagofc , Tony ... and all other GLASSIES …
I really like this feature where you can use the @ sign to "mention" someone and so that it will notify them by email if that option is selected or else they can see it on their mention tab, but you must be careful that you do not use a period or a comma directly at the end. If you do so, it will not work as a link…you will be able to tell this in your message as it will NOT turn blue. I’ve made this mistake a couple of times so it’s ”old experience” talking here. As I said in another post of mine, I’ve had to delete my post and correct it so that the link will work.
