Message:: [QUOTE="msgood2shoe, post: 177282, member: 69"]Here is some info from a respected website, which may help you. "The "Navarre" pattern was produced by Fostoria from 1936 to 1982, making it the most popular of all of Fostoria's etched patterns. "Navarre" stemware was produced in colors beginning in 1973 (so colored "Navarre" is definitely not depression glass). The stemware was done in azure (blue) and a light pink that is distinctly different from the pink of the depression era.  Colored stemware in "Navarre" is usually "signed" on the bottom - but Fostoria sold the "Navarre" pattern to Lenox in 1983, and Lenox continued production of the stemware for four more years. The Lenox-produced stemware is often "signed" Lenox, and the pink color appears to be somewhat different from Fostoria's pink." <a href="http://www.ourhouseantiques.com/pattid.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ourhouseantiques.com/pattid.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.ourhouseantiques.com/pattid.php</a> As to a compelling reason not to mix Fostoria's production with Lenox's production, that would depend on whether yours is clear or pink.  If pink the color could be different, otherwise, without a signature, I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference since Lenox used Fostoria's molds and patterns.  In addition, they produced quality glass, as did Fostoria.[/QUOTE]
