Antique Questions Forum / Reed & Barton Holidays bells

« on: April 17, 2005, 01:01:05 pm »

I obtained a complete set of Reed & Barton annual holidays bells.  I'm not sure what year they are from.  The seller told me the 1930's.  They include: Valentines day, Mothers day, St. Patricks day, Easter, and Thanksgiving.  They are all silverplate and signed Reed & Barton.  I have one extra-Christmas that reads "First Edition"  Any one have any info regarding the year, value or anything else I might need to know?  I tried to email a picture but the system would't let me.  Thanks JoEllen (still learning)

Antique Questions Forum / Question about milk glass fish

« on: April 16, 2005, 06:03:23 pm »

I recently purchased a piece of milk glass dish that is in the shape of a fish.  I don't know much about antiques.  The bottom reads -patented June 4th 1872.  The lady that sold it to me said it was her grandmothers and that it was very old and worth a lot!  It looks like it could be used as an ashtray.  It's about 10" long and 7" wide.  Anyone have any ideas?  Maybe value?  Couldn't find anything like it on ebay.  Thanks 740joellen  :huh:
