Salt and Pepper Shakers Lids, Repros and Depression Era

This is an interesting lot of 3 Hazel Atlas depression era shakers. The blue Moderntone ones don’t have lids. The lids to the clear ribbed set fit the Moderntone shaker bases but aren’t original.

Pink Saturday – Royal Lace Pink Depression Glass Rolled Rim Candle Holder

There’s a myth that depression glass is valuable, especially pink depression glass.  This is simply not true – for most pieces and most patterns – but there are a few patterns that are downright pricey.  The reason for the price difference is the most expensive patterns are less common and more popular.  It’s classic demand [...]
