| This pattern is the 'fancy dancy' CORD DRAPERY aka Indiana Tumbler #350. Made in their factory in Greentown ca. 1890, it oozes Victorian design. It is 10" in diameter and unfortunately it has several chips around the top edge, seen HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE. They really are not that obvious without close scrutiny but we need to point them out. There is no damage to the base. The chips lead to a half price value of $75. |

| HAWAIIAN LEI aka GALA pattern is a special pattern made by the John Higbee Glass Co. ca. 1913. This cake stand is 9 1/4" in diameter and has the scarce company signature of an HIG Bee in the center. It has an uneven icing rim for some reason and it shows scratching from an unwise attempt to clean it with perhaps steel wool. It is appropriately devalued to $65 for that reason. | ||
