Paper Label Hole-Punched Numbers

thanks. this has been very frustrating. seems simple like 1921, but then i saw a bottle online somewhere which had 48 punched into the paper but was listed as being made a decade later (i chose those dates arbitrarily). i dont know these type bottles at all. starting to enjoy them though.

Democratic debate

Anyone here a Libertarian? Free minds, free markets, limited government. If I were to turn on the news 4, 10, 20 years ago I would be watching the same thing. Conservatives vs. liberals back and forth. Both two peas in a rotten pod that want the exact same thing - increased size and scope of...

Stoddard Lamp Globe?

But seriously, why would Pier One make something like this? What would you do with it? Theres a bit of aged rust on the top too. Maybe it was an apprentice's first week on the job.........:flag:

Stoddard Lamp Globe?

Could this have been produced at Stoddard? An end of the day piece perhaps? It shows slight signs of wear here and there. Don't know why any modern glassblower would make something like this. I guess the proper word would be chimney?

Two tubular pontil umbrella inks

Figured colors like these would have come from somewhere south of New England or the mid-west. The puce has a sticker on the bottom, says it sold in 1993 for somewhere in the thousand dollar range (forgot the exact price on it). Does that sound right for '93?

Two tubular pontil umbrella inks

Could anyone give me an educated guess as to what region these were blown in and also what kind of price they might command? One is either puce or cranberry, the other is a bright green, maybe leaning towards emerald or yellow-green with possibly a bit of olive to it.

U.S.TEL.CO., Hemingray

From the top it looks like a CD 102 but I'm not positive. Might be a 121. Very common either way. Find a 102 that says WESTINGHOUSE NO. 3 and thats a completely different story =)
