Hi Peter,
Yea I have, some with just numbers written in pen, or typed numbers.
I have 2 or 3 pieces with actual prices, and labels intact, but I packed those up a while ago. They are a Barbini lighter set of 3 pieces, and on the labels underneath they were priced at $6 each in pencil. Which was their original price in the 50's. Unfortunately I never got around to take photos of them. Since they were in Mint condition I decided to packed them back up.
I'll see what other labels I have with written numbers on them and I'll post them. Usually they would be gereric paper labels with just "Made in Italy" on them.

Hi Max,
Here are the labels... I couldnt find the piece that has both of them intact, but this one has the 2 labels in very good shape.
Here is another label, underneath a Seguso "style" fish on pedestal.
Im unsure what the 1st part is, but the last part seems to be "nuova" and "firenze" underneath.

Firenze is Italian for Florence, so I imagine it was made there.

Thanks David,
I kind of firgured that one out, but wndered what the first letters in front of "-------nuova" are. Any guess? Im afraid that was the best photo I could take. The green is a bit faded so its also silvery like the letters so its pretty hard to read.

David E:
From what I can make out, it reads:
3vigndnuova
'nuova' is new, but the rest doesn't scan. Is that a '3' at the beginning?
But I'm also wondering if the large central 'K' could mean anything significant? Any Florentine glass makers beginning with 'K'?
