The Nickel Guy Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 I've had these laying around for years. The small one is clear deep ruby in color. It just looks like an oversized glass bead. Might just be a sample of something. The other two are marked with the same incuse letter B on the one side. I thought maybe they were samples of glassware from a town or factory that had a name that began with the letter B. I just thought maybe I should ask. Ya never know.

William Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Could be Brockway...I thought maybe Boyd but the letter B is encased in a circle or Diamond (unless these are earlier pieces) Hmmmm....more opinions forthcoming I'm sure....👍😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted November 8 Author Report Share Posted November 8 Thank you! Brockway is not too far away from me in PA. Out there off I-80 on the Pittsburgh half of the state. I think I remember picking these up at a yard sale 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I'm close...and that could be the gamechanger since you say that... then the odds would heavily favor Brockway... Others will chime in... Be Cool! 👍😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted November 8 Author Report Share Posted November 8 In my mind I could see a Hen on a Nest from either samples from Boyd's too. Haven't thought of Boyd's in many years but i used to sell antiques and could tell you back then who made what. LOL Man how time flew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's me too...I used to know and remember alot of maker's marks...not so much anymore lol...I used to do ebay way back before it became Feebay, dealing with tons of antique this and that. Did sport's cards for 30+ years. Now in recent years, back into glass, mainly Slag samples from Imperial along with Akroware and of course marbles!
