Over the years I have wavered between thinking that I preferred Heisey’s stems to Cambridge’s or vice versa.  In the end I tend to feel compelled to pick up stems by Heisey.

I have owned a few on the Wabash blank, but never this etch – #166.

According to Ream, Bredehoft and Bredehoft in Encyclopedia of Heisey Glassware: volume one, this pantograph etch was introduced circa 1920 and discontinued by 1937.

It was difficult to capture the design effectively, but it is very pretty.
