As the Labor Day weekend has traditionally been one for visiting & traveling, here are a few forms of transportation from Boyd Glass
Blue & white 3 1-2"W slag glass 1963 Corvette, signed in gold by the co's owner Bernard Boyd from 1978
Rubina (a deep multicolor hue) 3"W glass train boxcar imprinted Boyd Special ca 1980s
Lavender 3 1-4"W glass old time taxi car with BOYD spelled out on roof ca 1980s
That rubina box car is a gorgeous colour, really different.
Of course the other two are my favourite colours so they get a big tick too.
Corvette is my favourite, but all of them are so unusual! Who knew glass cars were a thing?!!! I love the old ford model T type car with the lovely purple hue too, it's definitely a really different collection from you this week Jenni! :P
Yep....the split window ‘63 Corvette is my fave....restored and sold one :)
Thank you so much for the love

Karen thank you for the fabulous praise I am really glad you liked all these car colors :) Rubina is a lovely rich blended color glass, one of my fave posted pieces is a Degenhart bird w. berry covered dish where you can really see the gradient colors - from deep cranberry down to grayish blue. I love all my animal topped dishes & keep them in our shadow box credenza
Thanks Lauren for your great comment and yes, the cars are kinda different for me, but you'll notice I called this Boyd part II because one previous Labor Day weekend I posted another trio of their vehicles....seems America is "on the move" over that weekend, perhaps because it signals end of summer & kids going back to school. Boyd made alot of cars, trains, planes, boats, tractors etc besides animals & agree they did a pretty cool job on the Corvette & Model T taxi
Hoot I'm so glad you liked this 63 Corvette miniature, it must have been a blast restoring the real thing & I can almost picture how gorgeous it turned out, then had to be a bit heartwrenching selling it but you made someone quite happy! Thank you my friend for your super comment
Thank you so much six-0-one for the fabulous compliments, I am rather partial to that lavender glass taxi myself & would love to find more nice pieces in that color. Boyd made their Corvette so cool, last time I posted one of their cars called a Tucker & when searching their vehicles was lucky to find this vintage 'Vette signed by the co. owner
Many thanks BB2 for the always thoughtful love and support it is very nice of you & glad you liked these cars
Thanks Phil & iggy for the love, glad you liked these glass cars and always grateful for the appreciation
