Small glass reads "trinkaus manor". Has a ht star mark very faint on bottom next to a l in circle mark. I know libbey produced glassware like this but i cannot find anything on this glass.

Didn't I just answer this a day or so ago? - This is Libbey Glass restaurantware, the HT in a Star means "Heat-Treated" - Trinkhaus Manor (Utica, NY) opened their restaurant in 1946 and it burned to the ground in 1992.
You may have but CW staff deleted the post due to poor picture quality. I would also like to know if this is a common or rare piece.
It's hard to take pictures of glass - the restaurant was in operation for 45+ years but it is hard to tell when they were actually manufactured - especially restaurantwares. They may have been replacing continously due to breakage and "souvenir" theft. They have some old dining room and bar pictures on their site but I couldn't get an enlargement to see if the glassware was marked. - It says they could accomodate up to 650 diners so it was not a small restaurant.
Thanks!
