No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

The threading will be machine done. William J. Hodgetts patented a glass-threading machine 6th May 1876.

That is wonderful, bubbles are gotten by using a dip mould... same principle as ordinary controlled bubbles but with formers instead of spikes to force the air under the surface and then elongating a bit more by the look of it. Quite a find, charity shop ?

Hi Guys, thanks so much for your help! Sorry about having it upside :) i have added a new pic the right way around.
It think it reads Rd 137188 not the '72' as suggested? i could be wrong of course.
I found it at a fleamarket, its was very inexpensive, it could see it the great work that had gone in to it and when I noticed the sig I thought 'im having you'  :)
Something you like, mail me! :)

Christine did you mean 137288? fits with St & W moresque -
What ho, the two is slightly differently done compared to the 1 at the beginning - it's a very scratchy mark but I think it is a 2 nonetheless.

I agree with M, it was the difference between the characters that was obvious.
