[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 104448, member: 878"]That's what I surmised, but somewhere, and it must have been in the '80s, I had some red pieces of coin glass outside in the sunlight. That's when I noticed a few having a yellow tint but others having a deeper and duller red. My brother had recently purchased a "red' piece that was mailed to him and he called me only to advise me of the "inferior" color of the Lancaster piece. Dull was one of his adjectives. He purchased it simply to compare. Now remembering that, it also brings to mind the other colors. Lancaster's green was also lacking any radiance. My sister had quite few blue pieces. (I think she had ALL of our mother's blue ones. :sour:) If I remember, Lancaster never did put out a blue. Our combined opinion was that Lancaster didn't even try to maintain Fostoria's color quality. I believe They didn't continue that line for more than a few years. What did happen to all those moulds?[/QUOTE]
