Thanks Skeez,
Is there some reference where I can look up the different shapes to figure out what pieces are ... as in the spill holder that I thought was a spooner? (also have some unknowns that I can't decide between salt, cordial or egg cup) I have McKearin, Jenks, Metz, McCain, plus a few others ... but no book shows a great amount of most patterns.

 

DOH! I do have a couple of Lee's books ... the Victorian Glass Handbook and Antique Fakes and Reproductions ... plus a couple of Barlow and Kaiser Guides to Sandwich.

I guess it would be too much to ask for a there to be a comprehensive guide that shows all pieces made for every pattern with dimensions included ... I would empty a whole shelf of a bookcase for such an animal - I suspect something that complete would need a whole shelf.

 

The ice bucket, komo, too small for champagne. And yes, isn't it a neat history!

 

Hi OOB,
Great job on the ice bucket. If you want to see a lot more stuff from the Normandie. You should visit the Syrian church in Brooklyn. The priest there talked the company into giving the bronze doors from the liner to the church to be used as the front doors. The dining room has many pieces from the Normandie. It was stunning to have dinner there.

Hi KoT,
I am having a senior moment at this time. It is a small religious community of Catholic Syrians. I think they are Mar-----. I'll have to wake up and think.

Hi Kot,
Sorry to have lapsed but no sleep in two days has me nutty. It is a Lebanese religious order called the Maronites. My friend who is Syrian is a priest at the church on Remson St in Brooklyn. It is the church with the doors from the Normandie and other pieces of the ship.

WHAT! I hope you get some relief from that issue.

I would like to see those!

 

Other than cx's like...this pin must be a conundrum not only for me.
No one have a clue?
Bullets and a bomb. The bomb insignia is similar to the US Navy's Ordnanceman rating. Those 2 mixed together....I don't know.

 

KOT, maybe start a separate post asking about this pin as not everyone looks at this thread. I had a look and couldn't find it.

 

THANK YOU!!!!
