I couldn't make the National this year but to celebrate it, I will be offering various pieces over the weekend from my collection that are a little different at what I hope you find are fair prices. For those who also couldn't make the show, this could be the opportunity to be the first emailer on a piece since so many are away from their computers. For those who are there surfing wirelessly at the show, this could be the chance to get something you were looking for but couldn't find on the show floor. I will be listing a number of pieces over the weekend and can fit several in a Flat Rate box at a shipping price not to exceed $8.95 regardless of weight.

My third listing this evening is a CD 106.3 [030] DUQUESNE. GLASS. CO. Note that there are periods after each word. What is different about this one is there was too much glass squeezed into the mold resulting in the glass above the dome line to squeeze out giving the appearance the insulator is wearing a daffy hat tilted to the side. The embossing is strong on both sides. I just chose this side because of the added bubbles for character. I'd call this factory mint. No damage that I can see... just rust around the wire groove that I'll clean up in an acid bath before I ship. Price $15.00 plus actual shipping. First email.
