<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 125373, member: 111"]Hey Spring - not sure what you think you know about these, but they are circa 1920s Czech glass place card holders in stamped brass bases, there are different styles too, and they're not uncommon, but that doesn't negate their age. I've sold a few and have seen them on the secondary market for well over 40 years (my Mom collects intaglio salts/ashtrays). Not unusual to see Czech glass bits on their own, may even have been wholesaled out - they have been reproducing Czech glass buttons, cabochons, perfumes, etc. from original molds for quite a few years now, but can't recall seeing these or the salts/ashtrays in any catalogs or sites.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pics show better detail, including the underside of the base: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/128863113/reserved-for-gale-vintage-czech-amber" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/128863113/reserved-for-gale-vintage-czech-amber" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/128863113/reserved-for-gale-vintage-czech-amber</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
