I do quite a bit of writing for them and visit the museum every year when attending the Akro Agate convention in Clarksburg. Weston is only about 20 miles away from there. If anyone gets the chance to visit, its well worth it!

Well anyway, that's just my opinion. Ive picked up some real bargains on BINs but never encountered that.

I don't recall seeing the Rustic vases before and they are quite striking when you see them in my opinion. They also look great sitting with carnival glass on the shelf. I only paid 15.00 for the pair so I thought that was a good bargain!

I have an interesting pair of Fenton Rustic vases that someone may be able to give me your thoughts on. They are non-iridized red. Ive never seen them before. Ive seen funeral size Rustics in this color.

The tops are fairly close. Its hard to find 2 exactly the same. Shaker collectors often have a big box of old tops to use when you get shakers with a bad top or no top.
The tops that originally came with them were two different tops entirely.

Its been a while but want to show you a pair of shakers I recently won at a Seeck auction. Had to give my eye teeth for them but really wanted them. Jim Seeck told me that they were the shakers that were sold at the Britt auction back in 1994. I had the old flyer and sure enough they were. I was able to tell by the mismatched lids. They were the same but I changed them to matching lids since.
Thought you would enjoy seeing them since we spoke about amethyst octagon shakers a while back.

The shaker convention will be held near by and in conjunction with the auction. I will bid online due to the fact I’m not attending the auction due to issues I have with the club.
Used to contribute quite a bit to the club in the way of articles and pictures of shakers but decided to walk away but still belong to the club for the newsletter info.
I like to contribute articles to the WVMAG and just came back from the Akro Agate convention in Clarksburg WV and I ran down to Weston to visit the museum for the second year in a row, it’s worth the trip!
The collection being auctioned is one of the best and as to what I can see it looks like not everything made it to the auction for reasons unknown. Maybe sold elsewhere or picked by chosen people, who knows.
Hope to get a couple of good things but I’m sure it will be tough.

Our house was built in he late 1800s by a railroad engineer.
The big thig here was the roundhouse which is long gone now.

Are you just interested in model railroading or railroad history in general.
I live in a small town that has a long railroad history. I know a lot of railroad history buffs are familiar with our little town. Most is gone now but none the less a lot of history. The town is Port Morris, NJ and the railroad back in the day was the DL&W.

Just thought I would stick my 2 cents in on that.

The woman had about 200 pieces, just about all marigold and that was the best. I know most collectors who have over 100 pieces usually will have at least one good piece by default
When the sale opened, both of us kind of walked quickly trying not to run to beat the other in first
I got the bowl for 10.00, we kind of talked for a while after we left the sale. Tom Burns was auctioning off some of his stuff that next week in Maryland and we were talking about that.

Its funny, thereis a small antiques/junk mall by us and the dealers do not know much so I get luck once in a while.
There was a carnival glass collector a few doors down from me and there was an estate sale. I had no idea what was in there and was hopeing for a big score but the best piece was a marigold Poinsettia & Lattice bowl. Some guy drove all the way from Long Island NY for it but that was the best piece and I happen to see it first. The guy that drove out was a collector by the name of Greg Dilian, do you know him?

I was just reading your post and for me Ive been doing OK the past few months here in NW NJ. Just a few items to mention that are of interest. I bought a blue Lions bowl IC shape, a red Holly compote ruffled, marigold Poinsettia bowl, all 3 combined under 100.00 and from different places not from the same person.
I also bought a couple of victorian art glass shakers all nice, for maybe 25.00. A vaseline etched castor set with holder, nice!
Just some examples, Im just waiting for the luck to run out.

I just picked up a small one in a cranberry satin. Its 4 1/4 inches tall and in really great shape! Only 2 small hobbs on the bottom with chips. For this size and the hobbs being so small and pointy thats pretty good!Its a really nice piece, especiall for 20.00!

Thanks,

Im rally not sure who made them. I dont believe they are very old though. Maybe European in origin?
I think that I have seen an ad at one time for them in some publication but not sure hwere. I will take a look and see if I can dig it up tonight.

You would want to keep everything. 🙂
I collect shakers, mustard jars, toothpicks, all silverplate related items. I also collect carnival glass, sugar shakers, oil lamps, pickle castors, Akro Agate, and whatever else catches my eye. 🙂
Sell?........very little 🙂

The reverse swirl pattern gets its name from the opal swirl going one direction and the moulded swirls going the other. Its hard to see the moulded swirl because its the mould of the glass and of course the same color as the glass.
The opal swirls on the one shaker goes the same direction as the moulded swirls if that makes sense.

I know what you mean about the lids but its interesting, I dont know if the lids are original but all the reverse swirls tall shakers that Ive seen have those kinds of lids. I have a number of them in different colors an they all have the same lid.

No, its not a forward and backward image of the same piece. The one on the right is a typical Reverse Swirl Tall shaker. The one on the left is th shaker in the reverse swirl mould but the opal swirls are going in the opisite direction they are supposed to be going! They are in the same direction as the moulded swirls in the glass.

Ive had it in several antique publications in the US and Canada including the Antique Trader which also did a club profile. I do what i can do to promote shaker collecting and the club. The Antique Trader told me that they are going to include it in their 2013 price guide coming out in Oct.
We will see, I dont count anything in until I see it.
