More of the Fort Erie purchases.  No markings so I don’t know if they are Fenton – just my best guess. Pretty for the appropriate decor.

One of my daughters recently claimed some of my hobnail pieces.  I’ll have to check and see if these are also desired.

Dropped my mom home to Fort Erie and we decided to check out the two thrift shops there.  I picked up a few pieces of hobnail.  So……it will be hobnail show and tell this week!

Interesting piece.  On the bottom you can see the letters “Patent No. 3547569”.  The inside has a Fenton label.  Pretty easy to look up.

I obviously have no imagination so couldn’t figure out the purpose of this piece.  Turns out it is a candle holder.  There are spaces for five small candles and then there is space in the middle for candles of two different sizes.

I found a couple samples online, including one in blue slag glass.  Two of them indicate that the piece was signed with the Fenton-in-an-oval signature.  My piece in unsigned – just the label.  So I have no idea how old this is.  At least 30 years old I’d guess.  Not difficult to find these online.  I saw one with a lid.  I guess that was to cover the bowl when it was not in use.

For $3.00 I think this was a bargain!
