That looks like someone converted a home made lure to hang on a Christmas tree. That would not be uncommon. There are a number of collectors for...
Still checking my metal lamp text. About three fourths thru it. This book is about 450 pages and the illustrations are difficult to check.
Google " Salt shaker lids". None will be old, but some will work. We have several hundred shakers and are always looking for trashed shakers with...
I have book on metal lamps and I will see if it is in that. There were about three dozen makers, or more. I am sure that the font was drilled and...
What Cherryhill fails to understand is that Mary had the ability to paint with both hands and both feet. She did this twenty-four seven. This must...
Just to be clear, I do not find anything you have posted to be rude. Now, we all need to go wash our hands and try to be safe.
My last post was not as clear as it could have been. Moser is documented as never using gold paint. Had your decanter been by Moser, the gold trim...
That was the point of my question. If it were lead glass, that would preclude Moser, as they made no leaded glass until the 1920's. The gold paint...
What is the weight? leaded glass?
I am a little late to the party, but have to say I would class this as Vaseline glass. It was made with U3O8 (yellow cake as the colorant). All...
"Moser Artistic Glass" by Gary D. Baldwin … Get it if you find it and you are interested in quality European glass. I have edition two. The book...
From the pictures, it looks to be peach opal.
There are oil lamps made today, but not nearly as nice. Machine made and ugly as an out house rat. However, with the proper burner, they provide...
I do not agree that this is, for sure, Moser. It may be, but according to Baldwin most Moser is marked. Since there were other houses making...
What we know for sure is that it is European. If we are to believe the burner it would be British, but the burner could have been changed. It...
I suspect that the hump on the top of lid screwed off at one time. That would allow it to be filled. That could be wrong, as I have been known to...
Good news! The Evans auction is over and I will not need for people to send sandwiches. The bad news is, stuff went so high that I won nothing....
Jeffery S. Evans Auction Co. is having their winter glass auction. Perhaps some of you good folks would start a "Go sandwich me" fund for me. I...
It looks like a crack on the bottom. That may be why it was trashed. Even if so, it makes a nice display piece. If you enjoy it, the crack would...
I still don't know what that staff is. These figure stem lamps are almost impossible to pin down to a maker. Glass companies did not do castings...
Separate names with a comma.
