I am bidding on this, would love an opinion...
« on: June 28, 2007, 08:12:25 PM »
Hello everyone,
When I was browsing paperweights on ebay, I saw this and something clicked...it was like something I've seen before.  Someone tried to buy it now but was turned down.

 290132122993

If you get a chance...could you look at this and see if it looks like any maker you know?   I am bidding, but it still has some time to go, and something tells me it will go high.

Thanks and stay cool!
Pat in VA

Glassnut, better if we use the ebay links at the top of the screen, it helps the board.

I agree with French, the red & white murrhines (9 parts with centre) match Clichy canes from the Jargstorf book.

As to the search boxes on top - I use Norton 360 (antivirus etc) and can't see any boxes either
and links to ebay and amazon don't work.

The screens at the top are not a biggy, I was just mentioning them.
FLTR you should see an ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, then the Glass Encyclopedia and Glass Musuem and then amazon.com search thingymebobs.  Every time you enter a search in there the board gets 0.00000001%  ;D of a penny but still it helps the board.

Thanks everyone,
I was thinking that but am not experienced enough to know.  The person didn't even show a picture on the main search page.  I've been outbid already...we'll see how it goes.  Thank you.....feel free to bid on it too if you want...I doubt I would get it anyway~
