I have searched for weeks and can't find the maker or pattern for these glasses. I don't think they are 70's since they are a pretty sort of jade green instead of the avocado. I am thinking they are 50's or 60's but don't know. When I bought them I thought they were Westmorland or Fostoria but I can't be sure. Searched for hours on Replacements.com and finally gave up....they aren't worth that much. Thanks for any help!

I know my mom had those. She loved green. It's from the 60's. Don't know who made them. It's a heavy think glass isn't it?

My mother had decorated red ones in that shape and she bought them at a restaurant.
One night my mother and dad when out to dinner at a supper club and they served water in beautiful red goblets. She asked if she could by 8 of them and yes they sold them to her. Never hurts to ask. I use them every Christmas on my table. Now my daughter has them. No maker mark. Nice glasses.

i am not saying these are Anchor Hocking but i know they made a lot of these type of glasses. we find them at just about every yardsale here in central Ohio. they came in all sizes. i have a set for sundaes and a banana splits boats set too.

raff.........
These may end up in a garage sale too! Can't decide whether to list or not. If they are so common they won't bring much if any. I paid a couple of buck for 8 so I haven't lost much and can resale them at a GS for what I paid.

I wonder if you'd have good luck selling them this fall, later on, advertised as an adornment to your Christmas table.

Actually these are not very common. I collect a blue color. My mom had 1 of them. Over the years of hitting garage sales, thrift stores etc. I now have 4. I don't know if they are rated in collector's guides as collectible but I know people really like them.

i did not mean to say they are that common everywhere. i live within 15 minutes of the Anchor Hocking factory so everyone around here could and can buy from their store very cheaply.
it is just like Fenton glass. around here you can still find the old items very cheaply because every body owned it and it is not special here. to the older generation anyway.
i have sold some very common Anchor Hocking items for good money, so please list them. the luncheon sets sell for $1.00 apiece at garage sales here and i used to list them all the time. now hubby complains about packing them because they are so heavy.
my son, who lives in San Diego, buys up all the Fenton he can find when he comes to visit. sells it to the antique stores back home and makes enough to cover his trip everytime.
