Show and tell for me tonight.
As of 3 weeks ago I had no Beranek pieces in my collection. I have now acquired in the last 3 weeks, 3 very nice and diverse examples of their work. One, of the more common Pulegoso variety with the pulled color on the sides and the rather "textured" surface. I have also, amazingly, found 2 other examples in what is apparently a more uncommon technique produced early on in a mono-chromatic Pulegoso cased in clear and having a quite smooth exterior surface. The small piece is an early example still having the original label attached to it. It is also my understanding that these 3 pieces all originate from 1944/45/46.
These pieces range in height from just under 4 inches to a little over 8 inches. My assessment of Beranek production prior to the last 3 weeks, was that their production was primarily like the light blue piece with the color pulls.... I now know how inaccurate my perception was..... I have a newly found respect for the variety and dimension of their early product line.
