I'll soon be heading to the pub so no rush on these. Are they common or interesting? What do you guys think?

Thanks

Hi, welcome to the gmb!

It would be very much appreciated if you would be kind enough to post your images directly to the board.
There is a whole load of techie info and help here;

Images hosted elsewhere have a habit of disappearing, leaving a thread empty of an illustration and so useless for our records and for future research for others.


We do not tend to discuss values here - they are far too subjective in the secondary market. Something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, in that place, at that time.
You might be able to get a ballpark figure by searching sold items in on-line auctions.

Hi Sue

I must respect your decision to offer me no help whatsoever here, but feel its a shame really. Equally shameful is the era specific relativism masking nihilism you have as your quote. After Kaufmann and Gadamer it's accepted in the academic world a compromise with utopia aught to be made on the basis of contingency - or else I would endlessly doubt the existence of this email we see in front of us. Generalising becomes an acceptable practice politically again, as it was before we doubted.  ;-)

How rude
You've had IDs for two of your items in a few hours. Did you read this before you started posting http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6521.msg55556.html#msg55556

All I can say is that they must serve bothery good stuff at your pub. If you wish an appraisal for insurance purposes, there are plenty of paid services run by people receiving a wage for doing so.

I would not be able to help with Scandanvian glass.

I was trying to help you get your post better organised, to help you get a response from somebody else.

I responded to be friendly, explain the board a bit better and to welcome you.
I shouldn't have bothered.

Well.......... I'm speechless!!!!!

[Oliverodner]

I apologize sincerely if I wasn't taken with the jesting tone I thought was apparent; if I came across rudely. But the Nietzsche quote juxtaposed with the response appeared to me to imply "what crap you make us deal with!"

I do hope no hard feelings - we have lots of glass here - I honestly have no clue if it's any good but they were my grandfathers prized possessions.

I greatly appreciate the kindness that has been shown to me here, and sincerely hope we can be "friends" on here, if such a thing is more than a clichéd tv show :-)

I just wish it wasn't only my PHD friends and professors who catch my tone and find me amusing, as intended!

Thanks anyway!

Oliver

Not funny on an academic or any other level, I assure you.

I thought it was a joke because of the winking smiley face in the post but looks like im the only one who thought so ,
