Looking for any info on these glasses by Libbey?  I am looking for a year for the most part but any other info would be great! thanks.

and  besides being Libbey, how are these similar?

[valmont325]

yeah, that's incorrect also. it's not listed in any of the catalogs that iv looked at.   And as for value, Libbey glass in original boxes sell for up to $95 for the correct set. This set is valued at $55 Minimum.  Not looking for value, just looking for any info regarding when they were made.

The "Brilliant Period" for cut glass began to wind down during World War I,  consumers' tastes begin to change, but wartime restrictions limited necessary chemicals. So Libbey tried to maintain its  business by introducing "Lightware," a less expensive product because the walls were thinner and needed less cutting time, but  this product was poorly promoted and proved to be a disappointment for the company. Libbey Glass enjoyed something of a resurgence in the 1920s with the introduction of the "safedge" tumbler, the rim of which was chip resistant. The company was especially successful in selling this line to the restaurant market. With the repeal of prohibition in 1933, the demand for glassware products from restaurants and bars grew even greater. In 1935 Owens-Illinois bought Libbey Glass for $5 million. At this time was a promotional tie-in with Walt Disney's highly successful animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Libbey concentrated on  Countless tumblers featuring characters from the movie they were filled by dairies with cottage cheese and sold across the country. They then began to step back into the  fine glass market. Hope this answers your questions
