Wow, 20 Jumbo's are up there and most of them appear to be glass ones too! The lighter, solid-colored examples are a mystery. I do not know if for some reason they were glass ones that were painted...or if they were made of some other material such as porcelain or composition. At any rate they appear to be about the same size as their glass counterparts and all fit on the same kind of heavy, stocky wood pins the Jumbos were mounted on.
