<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 11408335, member: 91417&quot;]TallCakes comes through again!&nbsp; Thank you so much for your extensive efforts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure how to learn whether these came out under the Tiffin or Franciscan name, since the labels are long gone.&nbsp; (I think...It turns out that this stemware covers half the top shelf of the china cabinetry, so when I go over them, I will look carefully for any labels.)&nbsp; I noticed that every eBay ad for Carillon champagne/sherbets said &quot;Tiffin-Francescan,&quot; undoubtedly following Replacements&#039; nominclature.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since it was an Ohio company, I hypothesized it would be more likely purchased when my parents lived in Ohio and not when they were moving or when living overseas. So my most likely dating hypothesis is 1968-69. By that date (1968) Franciscan had purchased the company but was issuing stemware using both Tiffin and Franciscan labels. (As you say, selling old Tiffin stock.)&nbsp; But that is more information than other sellers have.&nbsp; (I noticed several say their Carillon stemware was made in the 1950s, before the 1960 date Replacement offers as the start of Carillon and Lyndley.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
