    Should add that the books showing up at flea markets and sales, might not be the latest editions.

    My mom was into collecting sandwich pattern back in the later 1980s and 1990s particularly Indiana because she was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. She would go to auctions, flea markets etc...and it evolved. Of course, very little was organized, I would find pattern of same in different boxes. I tried to get them in the same boxes but it even got to me trying to organize it. Both of my parents are not good organizers. Rob

    I still got paper backs and hard covered Depression glass books by Florence from the 1990s. Rob

    The books you already have will probably be enough to identify the patterns. Then search eBay sold category for the prices.

    If you have books by Florence, the patterns aren't going to change.
    As someone mentioned ebay completed sales will be better for pricing.

    Ouch.....Sandwich pattern is tricky. Made by both Indiana and Hocking.....Then Tiara started re issuing it in different colors ( Teal and Amber?). There are minute differences that can separate which is which. But I can't remember now. Anyway.....when a pattern starts getting too complicated, collectors seem to shy away from it. If I remember Gene Florence's book had some identifying information. Check the back pages, where he put info on reproductions.

    Believe 4 companies made variations of the Sandwich pattern.
    Duncan Miller is also one.
    The other will come to me later.
