  1. It looks like someone concocted it using different parts of different things they had on hand. The lamp base with the blue Lucite parts I'm certain is from the 1970s Hollywood Regency era home deco...
  2. They remind me of Villeroy Boch caged glass items.
  3. Mable, Black Label :-)
  4. Good bit of research you did on it, way to go! So many people just look online for something that looks like theirs and copy what the seller is claiming, which so very often is incorrect info that...
  5. This Irish Coffee Mug was made by the Federal Glass Company.
  6. Found it in my files. Because of its one-off status for the florist trade only there was no pattern name assigned to this vase, only the number 86.
  7. Imperial glass company, for the florist trade, not part of their regular line of items.
  8. Looks a great deal more like an abused coin than it does one with any type of minting errors. My guess is 1¢
  9. Looks like something from someone's ceramics class. The decoration is a transfer, not hand painted.
  10. Late 1800s-early 1900s.
  11. Nice wooden match holder\striker. Appears to be an English (possibly James Dixon & Sons) Sterling silver hallmark if that first mark is JD&S
  12. One can't always go by what online sellers claim these days. Incorrect info gets copied over and over online to the point it only looks true. Most sellers don't bother to do any real research on their...
  13. The frosted finish on the beads may have been done using an acid to dull the original glossy finish or the beads may have been sans blasted to achieve the save effect.
  14. It could be an elephant tusk bracelet, but it's something you should have inspected in person by someone in the know rather than by a photo on an internet message board.
  15. 5th Avenue is just an import, export company who markets crystal and glass items made in different places. Not sure who actually made your item. 5th Avenue is (or was) "a leading supplier of cryst...
  16. Tiffin Glass Company, Dakota Apothecary\Candy Jars c. 1800s https://www.google.com/search?q=+tiffin+dakota+glass+candy+jar&udm=2
  17. Just ordinary glass, which was likely colored green by adding Chromium oxide to the glass batch.
  18. More info; https://freeimage.host/i/22kiqj2
  19. Very attractive, but it's not blown glass.
  20. Forgot to mention that I believe the decoration is a transfer, so not hand painted.
  21. Not sure about there being any railroad relationship, but the mark is that of the Forbes Silver Co. Meriden CT.
  22. It's decorated in the Pennsylvania Dutch style. Hard to say how old it is given this type of decorated ware is still readily available on the market.
  23. Forgot to mention that yours was glazed on the inside because it's a planter and to protect the outer surface from absorbing water when watering a plant planted in it. Here's another example and no...
  24. 1960s-70s. Use to be sold at import type stores like World Bazaar, World Market and others.
  25. Incolay stone is a product made from crushed minerals that is named for its "in layers of color" composition. Incolay Studios of California developed the process for creating Incolay in the 1960s to m...
  26. Thank you for the reply, kwqd. I can't say for sure if I'm really related to her or not, she's just included in my family tree, on my father's side for whatever reason. I mostly research relatives...
  27. Thank you for the reply, truthordare. It took me a long time to identify IVIMA Glass and was wondering if they like so many others somehow ended up with the molds of another glass company and made ...
  28. I just figured out why her name came up in my family search so easily. She's a distant relative of mine. She was the daughter of some old, (unkwn to me) relative of my father's named Jane Lady of Rath...
  29. I signed in, looked her up and found a couple things someone in her family had posted. https://freeimage.host/i/2dcneWl https://freeimage.host/i/2dcoIIf
  30. I Googled the name, and it came up in Family Search, a genealogy website which I use to track down my own old relatives. I'm not certain if she's the same person or not, only the maiden name and marri...
  31. That should be very easy to find in a Google search, given these gaudy old lamps are almost as common as dust mites. https://www.google.com/search?q=carl+falkenstein+lamp+floral+melon&udm=2
  32. Looks like a salt cellar to me. https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/lot-amber-pink-green-depression-glass-salt-cellars-405-c-e744b3fa3b
  33. Nice looking collection. I'm curious about the blue goblet in the second photo, next to the candleholders. IVIMA Glass of Portugal has been making glassware in that particular pattern, including...
  34. Forgot to add; I know the one in the video is much older, but further into the video one can see the crown logo Coronet used.
  35. Since it has the second speaker for stereophonic sound, my guess would be 1950s. Before then, there were no stereophonic records. In the 1970s the suitcase style record players had two detachable spea...
  36. Looks a lot like a Kralik piece.
  37. It looks a lot like a cigar rest.
  38. The marking is an English Registry mark, not a maker mark. No idea who made your item, though. http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/Dating_English_Registry_Marks.htm
  39. These book cover designs are what Art Nouveau style looks like. https://atlantareader.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/art-nouveau-book-cover-designs/
  40. Great book find! There is nothing Art Nouveau style about the cover though.
  41. There is one for sale on ebay listed as... Vintage Milk Glass Baseball Paperweight Decoration RARE ...but no useable information about it.
  42. Hard to tall much without being able to inspect these in person. There are many that were made of cast resin and sold at stores like World Bazaar, World Market and others in the 1970s-80s. Some were m...
  43. Cool plate. The enamel decoration reminds me of Indiana Glass and their Moderne Classic line, but I don't think so, it may be someone else's from some other line. https://www.pinterest.com/bla...
  44. The fad for these died about 15 years ago. They are worth little or nothing now, tag errors or not.
  45. You're welcome BHIFOS.
  46. I just found an old link to the Stretch Glass website. http://www.shetlarglass.com/stretchglass/SGCompanies/SGID.htm
  47. It's a Stretch Glass banana dish. There used to be a very good website covering this type of glass, but it no longer exists for free. Some of the makers were Fenton, Diamond, Northwood, Central, Imper...
  48. ynil33rpm, It's an old pic of mine and the camera is still packed away from moving, but this website shows all you asked about and more. https://everythingvintage.uk/vintage-camera/exakta-exa-ii...
  49. According to what I see listed for sale online, yours was made by the McCoy pottery company in the 1950s. There is also a nearly identical version listed as being by the Royal Haeger pottery Co. c.195...
  50. Going by its looks, it's a Victorian, Eastlake design period clock, roughly 1870 to the 1890s
