<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 390832, member: 308"]Knife rests can be rather difficult to date. Most are cut glass and the same patterns (roughly) were used by various companies. I haven't found that identifying the exact or rough date of manufacture helps with the sale. Knife rest collectors seem to like to have a variety of patterns and sizes. Value seems to rely primarily on the size and the quality and intricacy of the cutting. The damage to the one knife rest will almost certainly kill any value for that rest. </p><p><br /></p><p>I obtained a set of knife rests recently which were later rests made in West Germany. I thought I'd save them for myself and I put them out at a family dinner. I was the only one who knew what they were and the only one that used mine. Most likely they'll just sit in drawer now until they go into my own estate sale (sigh).</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
