Message:: [QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 98167, member: 878"]Your  question - Is the world full of Indiana Glass - deserves a yes answer. Well, close, anyway. Basically started in late 1800s and with mergers, etc. produced thousands of popular glass pieces until the late 1900s. Almost all machine made. You could say, glass for the masses, including restaurant wear. For a long period, glasses for Coca Cola. Good quality, nice designs and popular. I've always said, as many others do, that Indiana's lack of collector following is because they made TOO MANY pieces.  If your "bird" question means hens on a nest, that's a great example. I'd say several thousand of each color. The only difference being the color. Very few are rare and might still bring over $100, but the rest are selling anywhere from a few dollars to maybe $10 or $15. If the short tumblers are colored clear, not white opaque, and you like them a steal would be $5. for all. I don't know what you mean by "not quite right." Indiana Glass is well made, no repros, but no one has ever mentioned what happened to the moulds. Some made during the EAPG period but probably well after, too, from the same mould.[/QUOTE]
