Topic: Help Please

[stumped]

I bought my first pieces of what I think are vintage glass.  I bought them b/c I thought they looked interesting and am trying to find out what they are and the worth....If some are worth more I may try to sell them otherwise I will keep them on display.  I know absolutely nothing about glass and have spent the last few days trying to find these items online, I have found similar items but then seem to hit a dead end.  Can anyone help??  Any information is greatly appreciated!

Not sure what this even is and I am not sure if you can tell the color but it is purple:
1. 

I think this one is my favorite:
2. 

This is almost a mint green color (it is also the only one with markings as far as I can see- I think they say F.T.D.A. 10 made in USA):
3. 

Light pink:
4. 

5. 

Thanks!!

Hi Stumped, and welcome to the GMB.   It's best to start a new thread for each item, providing dimensions of the piece, a written description (so that in the future, others with a similar item will be able to find it when using the search function) and more photographs, not least of the base.  Please take a look at "Board Information, Help & Announcements" for more information to help you get started.

Once an item will be identified, you'll be able to search the Internet to see what 'value' it's got, and what you could feasibly sell it for. 

Best!

Welcome to the board  :rah:.
I would like to add that it will help us if you can give your approximate location - looking at your pictures I'd guess you're in the US?

Hi and welcome to the board.  :hi:

In addition to what Anik said above about one item per topic, can you please resize your pics and add them to the board using the attach facility, so that once ID'd the info then stays on the board to help others. Pics hosted elsewhere can get removed over time which renders the topic useless and frustrates other board users.

A descriptive subject line also helps, rather than a generic "Help please":

If you need help with images see our help topic here:

I think your ashtray (pic.1) could be a vintage Viking one  :X:
