Hotglass:
I think you guys are (unintentionally) misleading the lady with those high valuations.

The scarcity, demand and availablity of the Carnival version is vastly different to the clear.

Chuggy, yours may have been original Sandwich ones which would explain their price. Either that or your bidders got carried away and were ignorant of the huge availablity of these in the States.

Imperial themselves have re-issued these at various times over many years. Many other companies have made slight variations.

Here is a recently sold 8 sided one on Ebay.

Thanks.   New members know what country they are in and where they acquire their glass, so it is not immediately obvious that it should be included in their profile.   It is useful information, as it indicates likely possibilities when attributing glass.    Unfortunately Canada is the most difficult in this respect, as I do not know whether, in respect of imported glass, your country should be regarded as British Empire / Commonwealth, or a close neighbour of the USA, or both.   I suspect the last of these, with added input from France.

If you wish to find Canada-related topics here, don't forget to search on "Lorne".

chuggy:
At the time when we auctioned the pair we had, they were understood to be original 8 sided and came from the estate of an old lady who had lived in Detroit for many years as her husband worked for a large motor company. As I recall they were bought by a collector in Nebraska over the phone who was thrilled with them. The price quoted was not intended as a valuation merely an indicative matter of historical record (I think that cover me before Peter gives me a slap), hehehe!

aurora4u:
I do appreciate all the info you guys have provided .

 So what i gather is ....... you do not exactly know where in the USA this comes from .... or whether this might have been a mold brought in from another country ? or that that the current value might be anywhere from 9.99 (on ebay ) because they are very available ...........right to a possible 15oo canadian ...... so ............ ummmmmm am i right back to where i started?......the unknown ?

Thx Brenda
