Mystery Depression Glass ID = Jeannette Glass No. 516
« on: January 06, 2006, 04:37:40 PM »
Hello -- Haven't been on the board for a while -- too busy with the holidays, etc.  I need some expert help on a green depression glass tumbler -- it is footed and has a handle (a beer mug maybe?).  I thought it might be the Victory pattern, but was told that it is not.  This is an old piece -- it's been in my family for over 40 years.  Can someone please help me i.d. this piece? :P

could it be the 12oz Pillar Optic handled mug?

Gene Florence lists the piece as part of this pattern but doesnt picture it so I cant check to be sure

I don't think it is Pillar Optic. My Gene Florence shows a 12 oz Pillar Optic mug but it has no foot, in addition the pillars seems to be almost the full depth of all items, only a small band at the top rather than a very deep top band as on your mug.

Hi guys and thanks for your interest and input.  I have gotten some guesses that this is a Jeannette mug -- pattern number only -- can't look it up in my books because they are indexed by pattern (and now my husband must have moved the tablet where I had the patern # noted). :evil:   What a foolish game we play :wink: !!!  If I find the number, will send another note!


Thanks

Judi - with your tip, I found your mug.

Jeannette Glass No. 516 - 16 oz mug.  It came in pink and green.  It is pictured in Colored Glassware of the Depression Era 2 by Hazel Marie Weatherman in an old Jeannette catalog reprint.

Thank you. Thank you. :P   I have that book and skimmed right over the picture of my mug. :oops:
