056I was getting ready to post this water goblet and thought I’d add to any earlier Fry postings.  I wonder if I still have these sherberts.  I have a big TV cabinet with a recessed top and tend to store sherberts up there (where they can get nice and dusty!)  I’ll have to look.

Anyway, same etch DE (Deep Etch) 107.  I have found out that the blank is Fry’s line #5119.  Can’t recall where I bought these two pieces.  But I still have the dog with steak thing going on when I see this pattern!

p.s.  The yellow Lucite necklace now belongs to one of my daughters!

We took a beautiful drive up to Port Perry yesterday.  There are two great vintage consignment stores on the main drag.  At the first I bought a pretty yellow Lucite necklace.  At the second, I added to my collection of sherberts.  Got four (one with chips) for $10.00.  I snatched them off the shelf like a dog going for a steak.  I knew I already owned some DE 107, but couldn’t recall the blank.  Wouldn’t have mattered, I would have bought them anyway!

I’ve shown this pattern in another stem.  Saw this recently in Oshawa.  I was sorry that I sold the earlier stems and jumped at the chance to buy this.  You don’t see Fry stems kicking around very often.

These pieces were produced in 1917.    I call it a low sherbert, but replacements.com has a different stem that they call the low sherbert.

The optic is wide and called a ‘rib’ optic.

Pretty.
