Nice collection! Glad you collected them! As for the Bell Trading piece, if it's one of the nickel ones odds are the stones are glass. The base...
Sure does. I think I got fooled by the red light behind the OP's. Black Czech glass?
This weekend was absolutely dead. One tag sale that looked so dismal, a modern moving sale, that I didn't bother trying to get out of bed....
