I don’t know whether this line was originally called “Golf Ball” or if this the moniker that collectors have given the line due to the obvious distinguishing ‘bead’. Somewhat reminds me of Cambridge’s line 1066 – Aurora.
I really like the deep, rich ruby colour.

Whenever we cross into the U.S via the Thousand Islands Bridge we make a stop in Watertown, N.Y. There are a couple antique shops there to visit.
We have been several times to Old Jail Antiques. It really WAS a jail of some sort and the old cells hold stuff of all kinds.
It is somewhat of a challenge to hunt in this store as things are piled willy nilly, generally nothing is clean and often the lights aren’t working.
However sometimes you find items of beauty. I once found the most beautiful Czech piece with gorgeous painting and cutting.
This time I found the pretty pieces with the Lotus Springtime etch that I have already posted and these pieces of Cambridge Glass.
These are from line 3122 with platinum bands along the base and rim. There is a medium to wide optic. I think the details on the stem are very attractive.

This is the Century line – #2630 – and the etch is “Heather” – #343.
I like this etch. I once had some stemware with the Heather pattern and they displayed very prettily.
Interesting shape.
