Glass Chatroom Board

The same Lancaster that made Jubilee depression pattern?

I’m not at all sure, There were several glass factories in Lancaster Ohio, a period of 20 or more years could mean several changes of management. Not my cuppa.
Thanks again, Tom! I looked in my HMW II and it says that the "Jubilee Lancaster" opened in 1908, so I guess it's a possibility they are the same company?

----Who here has a Lancaster book?

Welcome Home Gail! Love the g-baby pics! My guess on the cup and saucer is some french company.
Julie and Gail - Not living near the grandkids is hard. Driving back and forth to PA from NC is hard. And, now, (drum role) other DS in FL is expecting! I don't know how I'll manage going back and forth to PA AND FL! If I have to choose between living near one or the other, I'll choose the FL grandbaby - SSoOoo much warmer there 🙂

KY Bob - That is a gorgeous basket whoever made it. And that puff jar is swweeet! I posted this link to a guy that does glass repair a couple days ago http://paulmnulton.com/ I know nothing about how much or if he could repair that big chunk, but he was mentioned to me on the chataboutdg forum just a couple days ago. It does say on the website that it's risky doing repairs - the piece could break.

Testing, testing...see if this photobucket link works. If it does, closet potties have any ideas??

Tom - Thank you! I'm glad you set me straight on that hobnail. I see now how the skirt on the bottom of mine is different from Doyle's. I had thought Elson too, because of the pointy hobs and that crimped top, but the little skirt and the vertical lines threw me too. Then I started wondering if it was brand new China junk, but a close look at the high points on the base show lots of wear. It remains a mystery then.

Jefferson Iris aka Iris and Meander?? Never would have looked at that pattern! I don't see an Iris at all, lol. But I do now see the panels are the same.

And the plate is Lancaster. The same Lancaster that made Jubilee depression pattern? Again, I would not have gone looking in that direction.

thanks so much! I don't care if they mayo ever gets id'd, I'm so happy to know the plates!

Morning Glassies ~ Blustery fall day out there today. Just a bit chilly!
Sorry all, for the links that don't work. I don't understand why they don't, as I've done exactly the same here with the same picture host as I did on the ebay chat. Is anyone else here using photobucket? I've emailed Curt to see if he knows why. Sure didn't want to bother him, but I'm just stumped. Uploading one pic at a time on tiny pic, I always get that code wrong and it frustrates me. 😆
I have a mystery to me. Small plate, about 6 inches. Fleur di lis design around the center.

And this larger plate, about 10 inches. No marks, lots of base wear. the pattern goes around the outside edge and in the center also. EAPG Thistle?

And here is the little hobnail bowl. I posted it here a couple weeks or so ago and nobody commented. I've id'd it as Doyle & Co Hobnail with Thumbprint Base from the Toothpick book, Bredehoft and Stanford, and just want to make sure.

http://i43.tinypic.com/6xx6k9.jpg

And wondering if this mayo spoon is id-able?
http://i42.tinypic.com/655t6t.jpg

And posted pics of my little pink vase on the chataboutdg forum and Ken has described it as "peachblow type" but not attributed to a particular maker. And also, learned there the name of man that does glass repair. Paul Nulton, in Pa. He has a website. http://paulmnulton.com/

Oh! I just discovered how to make the message box bigger! Yay!

Remember this little hobnail dish?

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/kweenofclutter/009640x480-2.jpg

while looking for something else (isn't that always how it works?) in my toothpick book, I came across "Hobnail with Thumbprint Base" made by Doyle & Co, mid to late 1880's.

I also went to the Slag Glass Museum yesterday only to find a note on the door saying opening day is postponed. But I could see these through the window, nya-uh-uh!

I have to run to the PO and that usually means hitting the thrifts after, so be back tonight sometime.

Shelly - You're right, lol, they don't take up much space but I'll betcha I'll go on collecting till there's not even space for little things, lol

Morning Glassies ~! Got here late and now I'm rushed, but here's my quick drive by scroll and comment -
I have ended up collecting miniatures. Mostly Hagan-Renaker bone china figurines. By default, really. Before I stumbled in here and in Ebay in general, I didn't collect anything. It was a barren life, 🙂 . At an estate sale 11 years or so ago, I bought a shadow box and a mess of miniatures (along with a fabulous signed Higgins piece, stickman and all that I promptly sold for a nice profit) and like most things, I bring it home and research them. But I got attached to the little things and it shortly became my only real collection. I have scads of glass around too, but none is a real collection, as in a certain, color, shape, maker, style, or era. I've got everything from EAPG to contemporary art glass. Just certain pieces that some how I just became attached to.
Fran - Feel better soon! Maybe it's just allergies?
Kings Crown always has confused me. It's almost like math to me 🙁
Kelli - What does the stopper go to? Pattern?
Will be popping in later !

Hi Glassies ~! Long day today. Stopped in to a antique/junk store, you know, the kind of place where it's dark and dirty and most stuff is junk or broken or ridiculously priced? Actually found a Tiffin Killarney green 17430 vase with a $25 price tag. So, anyone have a ballpark idea of the Ebay value? I always hesitate to spend that much unless I know I can get at least that back and these days you just never know what is a really good vs. average seller. I'm whooped, so will pop back in tomorrow morning and try to catch up with the board from the last day or two.
nitey nite 🙂

Guess where I'll be on Tuesday? It's practically right in my own backyard!

Morning Glassies ! Brisk Fall morning here. Heard on the news that some folks woke up to about 12 inches of snow! Crazy!
Thank you Don and Fran2! That's the link I thought I had. My issue is resolved now. The neighbor was kind enough to figure out the problem with my wireless router. Some how or another, maybe had something to do with a bunch of windows updates, it had become UNsecure. And then we couldn't find the admin. password and took hours to figure out how to reset that. All is well now.
No Trick or Treat kids here. Phew, I thought I might have to share that bag of Nestle's Crunch Bars!
Shelly - HOLY MOLY! I wonder how many times I passed one of those by! Congratulations! {happy dance!}

help! I need the computer chat! Anyone know how to get to their new site? I thought I had it bookmarked

Argh. I seem to be having a continuing series of senior moments while I am still adjusting to this new format. I keep missing posts and have to keep scrolling back and forth and then forget who/what I meant to address. I think I need a nap 🙂 bbl

Laurie - Just yesterday, I went to the no-kill shelter to look at the cats and kittens. My persian, Marsha, died a couple months ago. There was a really pretty and friendly 6 mo old that I really liked, but as soon as I picture her in my home, I just think of Marsha and I just can't imagine a new cat in my home - yet. So, I appreciate your Penny story.

@oklahomasong_Gail - OOOOhhhh! I saw those headings and did not realize they were tabs! I knew it had be something silly easy like that! thank youj!!

I just can't get out of the "mentions" page. Short of restarting the computer, I've tried everything I can think of and still stuck here. I can go to the How To section and looked for instructions and I see nothing about this feature. Please help!

Morning Glassies ~!~! Gorgeous fall day here. Just a little soreness in my legs after that mountain climbing expedition easy to moderate hiking trail. 80 yr old men were going faster than me.

I'm "stuck" again after clicking on "mentions". I really like this feature because it's easy to see and reply to those who have mentioned me, but what am I not doing so I can get back to the actual chat?

@oklahomasong-Gail - Yeah, I know how touchy they can be getting to those places. I used to hold Marsha on my lap and sort of nibble away at the touchy places a little at a time. Thanks for the comment on my vase. I hope someone will know it. Happy Birthday and have a wonderful visit with family!

@decoqueen - That's nice coincidence! Have you been in the area yourself?

@wattleihavenext - thank you. I always love your pictures of Aussie Land and it never fails to stir the desire to one day see it for myself. Sorry for not replying last night, but I totally did not see your post at all and swear it appeared mysteriously overnight and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😆

Happy Birthday Marson!

@Shelly - I clicked on my bookmark to go to Chatabout yesterday and now AVG is stopping me from going there too! Never did before.

Anyone else have this problem?

Oh, Shelly, didn't see you there. Of course you can send it any where you want 🙂 Chimney Rock is about 30 miles east and a bit south of Asheville. The first picture is Lake Lure. That's where that scene in that old dancing movie (Patrick Swazey holds so-n-so whats-her-name up over head standing in the water, whats it called, Dirty Dancing?) was filmed. And Hickory Nut Falls is where another part of a movie was filmed. Anyone remember The Last of The Mohicans? Can't remember the scene well now, but that Falls is shown.

Yay! I restarted my computer and the new banner shows! BEEeeeUtiful! Thank you so much Curt! Wonderful job!

Bear - Don't know who made them but I do know they are Candlewick wannabees

Possum - (((hugs)))) so sorry you're not well. AND, Sorry, you're lamp isn't Fenton 🙁

I gotta get to bed. Hope I can walk tomorrow! I suspect I really over did it today.

Shelly - Getting to see the change of seasons without the -0 F winters is exactly why I like it here so much. I just wish my kids would move here! Here's why I'm here. Took these pictures today after I walked up to Hickory Nut Falls at the top of Chimney Rock, and about had a heart attack doing it too!

Shelly - Thanks for looking at pink vase. --Will your DB be in Western NC too? One of these visits maybe we'll run into each other again, lol. ---Your vase is Beaumont Glass. Not sure how old it is because I think Beaumont stayed in business till the 60's maybe? Someone here knows for sure, cuz here's where I learned it (and here's where I forgot it!)

Don - Having been a victim of the PP policy of holding payment till I could prove the item had been shipped and received, or 21 days pass, I think this fella has it mixed up. Ebay keeps changing things so fast, maybe it is a new rule for new sellers, maybe?? But, if he's in that "hold He dbl L", as I like to call it, he has to ship regardless of whether he has access to the funds. I think you should ask him to show you where he saw that rule.

This little pink vase followed me home today from the same place as that lamp base. She's been damaged, but I couldn't resist. The glass is pink at the top gradually changing to lighter pink and then almost white at the bottom. Pontil is rough.

🙁 I can't see the new banner 🙁 I refreshed, I closed the window and opened a new one, and I did the f5 thing and it closed the page altogether. But I'm sure it's beautiful!

Gail - gotta blow dryer? I briefly did dog grooming, and also had my own cockapoo years ago that I groomed myself. They blow dry them with a big industrial type blower and then brush them with a wire brush with wide apart bristles so you can get down into that undercoat. If you don't brush him out, he will get matted.

Happy Birthday Fran!

Big (((HUGS))) Julie

I saw this same lamp base today - the pink/white cameo glass is the same design but the base is different. Is it, like this auction says, Mt Wash. /Pairpoint glass?

I stumbled onto after I got lost trying to find this place:

Carl - Yeah, sorry about that tiny pic, but I'll bet you're right! You have that 6th sense about Northwood 🙂

Yikes, it's almost noon and I'm just getting up and having my coffee! I just could not go to sleep last night. It was nearly 3am before I finally fell asleep. Missed all my Sunday shows 🙁

Leah - gorgeous stuff, elegant presentation!

Speaking of pink spatter glass, any one know this pitcher? Full size. Sorry the pic is so small.

@reen (((((hugs))))
Julie - turd tavern? catchy name, lol. It looks like an old American West Saloon.
Helen - ((((hugs))))
Fran - You're looking for a tall blue one? I'll keep my eye out for ya.
Ky Bob - I think it's a cracker, aka biscuit jar and it looks Ruby 🙂 to me - cut-to-clear. Looks Bohemian - does it have much wear on the base? The simple grape motif makes me also think it's newer.
MaryBallard - Welcome! Pretty piece, genuinely old. Looks Bohemian/czech, maybe 40's?

Donna - check your pretty bowl with a blacklight. Sometimes they glow.

Gosh, where's the dunce hat. I didn't see our webmaster posted this morning, sorry. I have no idea what the best thing is to do for promoting our lovely new chat, so forget everything I said before and I'll just go with whatever the majority decides.

@bear - Thanks, hadn't thought of DM and that was a good guess, no cigar, 😆

@wattleihavenext - Isn't that neat, high tea! I want to start talking with an British accent all of a sudden. And my little pinky is suddenly sticking out! It's great your DD likes the old and elegant and can share that interest with you. My kids still think of it as "mom's ebay thing". They think it's cool to buy something for a buck and resell it for $50, but have no interest in the actual things that sell. I did give DGD a vintage 50's toy piano for Christmas last year that I hope will become a family heirloom in her time. But, I also gave this DS a set of Fostoria stemware a few years ago and he and GF got rid of them and replaced them with horrid Walmart stuff!

Shelly - I have AVG and never have a problem with chatabout site pages. I'm sure there's a way to set your AVE so it will "allow" certain sites.

@dave - great idea!

I've also been thinking about adding a link in my listings and me page. I think the ebay rule is that you can't have links to sites that sell, but maybe that's changed again?

I've wondered if it would be proper to add a link in PGP posts over there. What's the etiquette for that?

I think It's a good thing to promote this chat so we can attract other glass people so that we don't get "stale". But we won't be having newbies just popping in here like we had on the old chat - having to register to make a post will surely slow that down. Before, we just hopped around from board to board over there without having to be a member on each. Sadly, we won't be able to have such happy, randomness as we enjoyed there.

Morning Glassies !

Try that little hobnail bowl again - 4 1/2"

Gloomy rainy fall day here. And oooo, it's chilly. Can't believe winter is already around the corner!

Fran - Your DH is very secure in his manhood, eh? LOL!

Gail - thanks for looking, and wonder why you could see it and others couldn't??

Laurie - Ditto what I said to Gail!

Julie - that is so cool combining old depression glass with your DGD's naming ceremony. My kids won't be caught dead with any old stuff in or around them, lol.

Laurie - shucks! Will try again later - gotta run - bbl!

@bear - thanks for trying 🙂 I do have things set as "public", so I don't know why it's not working here. I like to post just one photo at a time, but I'll try a link to the whole album and see if that works
http://s1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/kweenofclutter/

@bear - thanks.

Don't know how to fix it? I posted the links like I did on the old chat...

Oh, Jim, what a cruel tease! I hope you'll bring home pictures?

@reen - No, I'm in WNC, but I'm from north of there - Meadville. I have 2 neices and a sister who live in Pgh and My nephew went to Washington and Jefferson College.

Anyone know this odd little hobnail dish? 4 1/2" across. The edge reminds me of Hobbs but the little long "nobs" on the sides and the little skirt around the base throws me. I'm just curious. Maybe it's Imperial?

Morning Glassies ~! Well, got my stuff moved into the "new place", already out of flat surfaces 🙂 Feels weird, but nice, here. Like you know how it is when you've had the silverware in one drawer but move it to another and for months you keep going to the old silverware drawer? That's what it feels like.

Hi DAVE!

Glitches? They probably not only cut the purple wire, but the green and the yellow one too.

How will we do our happy dances if no images on the board?

@reen - are you in the Pgh area?

@wellington/laurie - whew, thanks! I'm relieved someone was on top of that cuz I sure would have messed it up somehow!

Before I "reload" over there, did anyone get a screen shot of the last day of the chat? I think it's be nice to have that archived somewhere. I'd do it, but I just don't know how. Well, I do it, it goes to "Paint", but it's too big to fit the screen in Paint, I see only the top of the page, so I'm stumped there.

Morning Shelly - thanks! She's a repro!

Now, for a really important question -:) how do we pick a winner for the pool? Is the chat considered poofed now or not?

okay, never mind 🙂 I logged out and logged back in and all is well now.

help, please? I'm stuck on a page here and can't get back to the chat area. Well, apparently I can post, but the only posts I can see are replies to my previous posts. I clicked on HOME and I just come back here...what am I doing wrong? I even closed one window and opened a new one, and still here I am...sigh...

uh oh! I think it's gone??!! I made one post in a window I had open to the chat from yesterday and it worked. Tried it again and nope, takes me to the PGP. hope somebody got a screen shot of the last day of the chat!

just stopping in to post this 🙂

pssst, Suzy - - you should just send that second perfume bottle to me to study and research for you. Shouldn't take more than a year or so...

Leah - thanks for looking! When I first saw it, I thought, ugh, this must be brand new chinese junk. But then it glowed, I thought, hmmm...and there's quite a bit of wear on the base. I guess it will remain a mystery.

@newtonenterprises - lol, she's another adoption. There's about 3 cracks in the base. She's my avatar because I'm too insecure to post a picture of myself 🙂

@suzy - oohhhh, now I see how that "mention" function works!

@okcoolwheels_Suzy - We think alike! I adopt chipped and cracked pieces all the time. This one I found at a GW many months ago. Just $3. I prefer to find perfect pieces, of course, but if it's old, pretty, unusual, glows, so long as it's CHEAP, it generally comes home with me. I probably have 10 pieces that have some kind of damage to them. I've tried to break myself of this, but no luck, so far. I just see the imperfect piece and think, "oh, what a shame, but I'll take you home and love you just the way you are." The only exception is sick glass. That just makes me mad when I see it, lol.

@oklahomasong_Gail - It's okay...I'm a little cracked too, and I'd want someone to love me anyways too 🙂

Morning Glassies ~! I see our new member Leah has quite a grasp on Bohemian art glass. I wonder if you know this vase, Leah? Just curious. It's cracked in the bottom and part of the applied glass is missing.
About 6 inches tall. Let's see how this picture linking works 🙂
