I didn't say I thought it was durand kimball, i just said that's another popular option for this mark. No personal opinions expressed or implied.

I didn't mean that personally azelismia & sorry if it came off that way. It just that PK has undergone multiple discussions with no results including the Durand Kimball attribution from the James Julia outfit & their attribution whcih was to be polite a bit of a stretch if you compare the two styles/types of glass.

[azelismia]

yup, it is a bit of a stretch. but, I try to keep an open mind on all options cause yah never know what bit of unexpected evidence will turn up one way or another when it comes to old companies and what they made. Look at some of the crap Legras put out compared to some of their higher end stuff.

nothing surprises me anymore.

I do have a very crappy biscuit jar that is marked durand. it's clearly not the same thing as durand  as we know it. I have no idea what the origin of it is. maybe there was a company who tried to sell things based on a similar name or something. Or maybe the decorator was named durand.  I bought it as a curiousity.




but with all that said, I think the odds of durand kimball being responsible for PK or my jar as being about as high as Aliens abducting me from my bedroom every night and returning me before dawn.

Hmmmmmmm...I see "URAN" on your cracker jar....You're just missing the first and last "D" and THEN we could attribute this to "Durand"!!!

it is stylistic the first d goes around the uran and forms the last d as well. it could be duran without the implied double d by circling the whole word but it definitely starts with a D.
