Glass Chatroom Board

@ohiostar Fenton Thank you . That picture is so much better than anything that I have been able to get.
@madferu Beautiful bowls and plates Nina. Are they the Duncan and Miller Spiral Flutes? I just reopened my ebay store a month ago.
Bob in Florida says that he runs an auction with a BIN for a week before he puts an item in his store. He thinks paying the 30 cents for that is more profitable for him. I may try that.

Good Morning everyone. Very chilly here this morning 40F in my kitchen. brrrrrrrr
Having a quick scroll while I have my cuppa and then I am heading off for 3 days to a swapmeet, where it is going to be even colder than here. Tomorrow morning & Sunday I will wake with the grounds and my stall tables , covered in an inch of frost .Its the same every year there. brrrrr very cold on the little fingers trying to work and also cold on my tootsies LOL.
Shelly @shellyrae37 Yes Miss P was pleased to see me, but I bet not as much as I was to see her.
Hi Betty @sjell I am glad you are hanging in there. Do take care
Gail @songbreeze that is terrible news about your son & family.
Nina @madferu LTNS glad you found time to visit. Sorry I can't help with your ID.
Reen @reeen All the best for your procedure.Doesn't sound at all comfortable.
Julie...saying hooroo

@amber1986 --- Even though I try to not talk about them too much I tend to drive my family crazy with my activities.

@wattleihavenext --- I know about that mildew stuff. Had about 100 books on a bottom shelf where there was some moisture at some time in the past few months. Most of them were ruined. I hope to get the shelf scrubbed really good and then wipe it down with vinegar water to kill the mildew. Have it just about ready for the scrubbing. One big stack of 20 or more magazines which I need to check to see if they have any value.

@carma --- Wish I could see that store. Sounds like a good idea for a small town but I am told that restaurants are very risky businesses. Our son-in-law's family have hardware stores in some small of the small South Dakota towns. I think they have not ventured in to the food service though.

@madferu --- that Gail of @songbreeze is a good 'un. Those books of hers stand her in good stead for quick IDs..

@madferu NINA ... well, I picked up the right book as it took all of two seconds to find it. In MONOGRAPH N. 15, EARLY MILK GLASS 1891-1911, West Virginia Museum of American Glass compiled by Tom Felt....Page 19 , it shows a 1900 advertisement for Dithridge & Co. with your tray pictured. The advertisement ran in the "Crockery and Glass Journal, September 27, 1900.

@madferu NINA ... It definitely looks like one of the old companies that did your little tray or pin dish or whatever. I'd guess Dithridge or Gillinder, late 1890s or so, but you'd have to look through a bunch of Milk Glass books and hope to find that exact design.

@madferu Nina I think this is your vase:

@madferu Could your punch set be a variation on a Tiffin set of Kings Crown? From what I found the stem of the cup is too tall. But maybe???
Folks I've been sicker than 2 dogs with a kidney stone. Finally went to emergency room where they filled me full of pain meds. I slept for 2 days.
Have a question which with enough searching I might find the answer myself but don't feel up to following through on that. I did try PayPal a couple of days ago. No option at that time for Padded FRE or Business size FRE. Is it being offered when using eBay shipping? Thanks . Helen

The day started out with a bang…literally. LOL. A worker from one of the group homes drove up to the side entrance of the Church to pick up one of our disabled parishioners. The driver apparently has a depth perception problem. They had to cut some type of wing thing that was attached to the roof in order to back the van out.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY … I haven’t scrolled up the board yet but I’m sure everyone’s told you that little heart-shaped dish is Candlewick.

@fyrqueen KATIE … indeed, a lovely horse.

@madferu NINA … Probably been ID’d already as Lexington…

@glassusa BOB … Congratulations! I think it’s such super fun to buy so cheap and get a nice decent sale from it.

@wattleihavenext JULIE … hi to you, and hope you stay cool.

Well, I’m at the end of my scroll so I’ll look a bit further for info on Nina’s punch bowl…
Here it is... http://www.replacements.com/webquote/INGLEX.htm#6589482

Good afternoon everyone Its a bit steamy here today. Rain has gone and sun is out so it's very humid But there is a nice breeze coming through the window, so if I don't exert myself too much it is OK 🙂 But start moving around and you soon know it
Nina @madferu re " Did any of you go through a time you were uninspired then get a good find or a good sale and get re-ignited " Yep many times over the years. 🙂
Bob @glassusa Congratulations on your 39c investment !!
Julie

@madferu Pennybear is a Midi Dachshund. The mid means a weight of about 15 pounds. She is on the small side.

Good afternoon, glassies.

@jpthings BEAR ... The Shell and tassel is crystal clear. There's just a black background to the picture for the pattern to show up. As far as the Field Guide, I actually tore my apart! I bought three small 3-ring binders. I bought a hole punch just set to that size. I punched holes in all the pages and have them in the 3 binders. When a good photo shows up of a difficult pattern to interpret from the line drawings, I print it, cut the paper to fit the binder, hole punch it and add it. Also I add photos of EAPG that aren't shown in the book.

@madferu NINA ... sorry, don't have any idea on the yellow one.

@madferu Nina the yellow one doesn't look like Viking to me but no idea as to who.
george

Good morning, glassies.

@madferu NINA ... good to see you! If you have a few minutes, you might want to click on the tab in the right hand corner that says "How To" Manual. There are a few little features that operate differently here than on eBay. They are all positive though and they are enjoyable.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... well, he's sure doing well enough with his auction for one. Think I'd try one and later the other.

Off to Tai Chi class and then several errands. Catch up with you all later.
