Fenton had a mold #389 for a 6" Bonbon. They appear to have twisted it every which way to create different edge treatments. They made #389 in oval, square, flared, triangle, plate, and double crimp bonbons, all from the same mold. Your shape looks like the flared. The #389 mold does show 3 rows of hobnails and it was done in French Opalescent. The book says the size varies between 5" and 6" across depending on the crimp. Dates are 1940-1952.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
