Glass Bowl w/silver ring edge - ID=Davidson 695
Adam:
Confirm 695. One of Davidson's best sellers, in various sizes. Many sold to the "platers" (one of whom, Abrahams, of course eventually took over the firm) for fitting rims etc. I seem to recall some had the tops specially roughened to take the adhesive.

:o :o really...
I see no anything on the ring -- nothing. Are you saying the pattern was registered for that date, as this is the age of this :huh: ....
I was going to put it in my own garage sale stuff for next year, and ask maybe $5 for it,as it appears to be in excellant shape....and I thought it was maybe like the posting/date of this other piece of glass in this post:
* Candy Dish with lid... November 13, 2007, 07:54:53 AM of mine
So what is the value/age/date of it?
confused as usual.... :-\
Lustrousstone:
Hi Rose I suspect your rim is chrome-plated. The date is when the design was registered but many of Davidson's designs were made for 40 years or so. Yours is more likely 50s/60s when metal fittings were quite the thing. What is the base rim of the bowl like - is it rounded off and shiny as if it just came out of a mould or ground flat? I also suspect $5 is not far off the mark.
Bernard C:
Like Christine, most of these I have seen have had chrome plated rims, with a few EPNS (silver plated). Very occasionally you find them with handles. Once, just the once, I found one with a hallmarked silver rim, most unusual for mounted Davidson.
