I have 8 different sets of pattern glass or pressed glass I purchased from my cousin’s estate in the late 90’s. (He collected from the early 1940’s until his death). I would like to determine the correct names and possible values now that I am a senior planning my estate.
Each set consists of a covered butter dish, a spoon holder, a creamer and a sugar dish.
The names are (I think):
Crow Foot/Turkey Track
Ruffled Edge Hobnail- white opalescent
(Northwood??
Plume
Post
Royal Crystal (Atlanta?)
Luster Rose (Marigold-Carmel)
Croesus
Star Band/Bosworth
Some of these sets had the names on the boxes they were stored in, but I do not
know if they are accurate names or not.
Where can I go, or how do I find out the names and approximate values?
I am not a collector. I only have them because of the estate purchase. I am in a rural area so there is no place I have found that can help me.
Any suggestion, pointers, advice, etc. that you have would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
