[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 10470328, member: 111"]Wow, thanks, but to my eye they're not bad but could be better, I do like to play with arrangement - lighting is just an overhead or a table lamp, sometimes I make a few adjustments when editing. I have a small light box, but haven't used it in ages. Guessing the #3 Whiting in that group? It is a great pattern, popular in its day, still popular - and full-line, so there are a lot of different pieces. Lily of the Valley patterns, or those with LotV elements were very common (and I also include other bell-shaped flowers), so my collection isn't anywhere near comprehensive, and because there are so many different designs to be found, it's fairly easy to find something I don't have - unless it's a very special piece, I'm pretty thrifty. I used to have an uncommon pierced version of the Shiebler 'Flora', but didn't like it as much as the regular spoon, so I sold it for a nice profit. ~Cheryl Very old pic of the Shiebler and its pierced variant: [ATTACH=full]526705[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
