<p>[QUOTE="TallCakes, post: 205781, member: 107"]it's often not possible to know exactly when a piece was made. The 1914 date provided was the initial production year (YOP). Imperial, as with other glass makers, would often reissue their patterns for many years up to the time of their closing. Many of their later items were marked with various maker's marks or logos. As cluttered mentions the mark may be inside the bottom of the glass or on the bottom. Without the mark or specific production data it is difficult to know a specific date. Often the date isn't that important and many sellers have no clue. Ddoty can be useful in their tracking of eBay sales to give an idea of values in some cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
