      Not glass animals.....but I wonder, is it her? YES. You starting a transportation department for your menagerie? LOL. Love it. Have a great holiday Jenni.

      First you have glass animals, now trains, cars and boats too?! This is a new one on me having never seen methods of transportation done in glass but they certainly are very unusual :P
      My favourite of these items is the train the blue colour is beautiful and I have to say something about these little trains seem very festive? The light blue car is very cool too and the little tug reminds me of one I had as a child called 'Johnnie.'

      Thanks for the super comments Ken and MrsT, glad you enjoyed these!

      Wow keramikos, amazing research, thank you! I appreciate your firsthand knowledge of Boyd Glass, very exciting that you used to work there. I thought the B in diamond mark classified their pieces as 1980s or earlier, at least that is what the seller told me - obviously 2013 is not very vintage. The blue car is rather a pale aqua, were there no other light blue colors prior to the 2000s. Well at least the car was originally designed earlier than 2000 right. Thanx again!

      Thanks again keramikos and I think.with your help I may have found the color, honeymoon blue from 2006 looks like the best match - check out a Boyd scottie dog salt cellar in that color currently listed on ebay. Wow I think they made like 200 or 300 different glass colors! Again, very kind of you to find this info :)

      Thank you iggy for the love, really glad you enjoyed this Boyd Glass modes of travel display, & safe travels over the holidays

      Lol keramikos, totally get it about the glass temptation, when I start browsing websites online I am constantly "watching" glass animal auctions, it gets addictive but as Rodney Dangerfield once said, where does it end!

      Newfld, Back-filling here. :-)

      I really don't know that much about either glass or automobiles, but the second I laid eyes on that car with the distinctive hood, I knew it couldn't be anything ordinary, and indeed, it turned out to be the famous Tucker:

      Thanks so much keramikos for your great comment and link about the Tucker car, great eye catching that! I have adjusted the description to i.d. Tucker as the car
