I sold $300 of vintage glass this morning

They got a great deal. Especially if they sell online. They will make plenty of money off all that glass. The main thing is, that you are happy with the sale and reducing items.

The table would make a good porch table. Putting out for free was smart. I'm sure you can do it again.

To be certain that it's Cambridge, I only buy signed. When I get back home, I will send you a picture of my small collection that my wife has on display in an etagere in our dining room. Whenever she has dinner guests, she will light up the etagere and usually, it will start a conversation. My grandparents worked for Cambridge Glass in Cambridge, Ohio. My grandfather was a glass blower and my grandmother did hand etching. She was a great artist. Never used a pattern, just etched free-hand, as she would call it. I have a few pieces that she did.

I never knew Cambridge was signed. I know some Fenton was. Unless what you mean by signed is not the designer's signature but the Cambridge mark - a C in a triangle?

That's it. Cambridge signs their glassware with the "C" inside of a triangle on the bottom, but not all pieces were signed. If you have never been to the Cambridge Collector's Club show and auction, you have been missing seeing some beautiful pieces. Here, check out this site. Much to explore here: CCC I have also been to the museum and again, I have pictures on my other computer at home. Please remind me to post them and when I get home, I will make that a priority. Some really beautiful colored glass pieces.
I would like to find the Amethyst (purple) wine pitcher and glass set on a mirror or crystal base.

I'm selling more on Marketplace than I did at my yard sale, if I'm fortunate enough not to get stood up which is about 80% of the time. People stop at a sale and if they're looking for kid's clothes, they'd be out of luck at my sale. With Marketplace, people can search for what they want and see a photo of it.

my thoughts exactly
 
I would consider buying any Cambridge that is signed, but colored glass only. I would even pick up. I have free flying privilege's with United, so I would fly up and rent a car to come and get it, if you are OK with doing so.

Got a nibble on the antique kerosene lamp I placed on Marketplace, but the woman said I lived 20 miles from her and that was too far to go just for the lamp. Would I consider bringing it to her? Yeah...THAT'S gonna happen! And when I get there, she'll have just stepped out...

That is a very pretty kerosene lamp, @debodun .

By the way, I was looking thru our area Marketplace; I am looking for a small settee and found so much glassware for sale. There's going to be a huge estate sale in a neighboring city ~ tomorrow. Their pictures reflected a lot of goodies. I am not a (early) morning person so I guess I'll skip it. Another moving sale had the pink glassware.

This is the only item that caught my eye. I have no room for it though. Or need.213811754_10208995154953101_5155854241936910178_n[1].jpg
