\"Fenton<\/a>Dropped my mom home to Fort Erie and we decided to check out the two thrift shops there. \u00a0I picked up a few pieces of hobnail. \u00a0So……it will be hobnail show and tell this week!<\/p>\n

Interesting piece. \u00a0On the bottom you can see the letters “Patent No. 3547569”. \u00a0The inside has a Fenton label. \u00a0Pretty easy to look up.\"Fenton<\/a><\/p>\n

I obviously have no imagination so couldn’t figure out the purpose of this piece. \u00a0Turns out it is a candle holder. \u00a0There are spaces for five small candles and then there is space in the middle for candles of two different sizes.<\/p>\n

I found a couple samples online, including one in blue slag glass. \u00a0Two of them indicate that the piece was signed with the Fenton-in-an-oval signature. \u00a0My piece in unsigned – just the label. \u00a0\"Fenton<\/a>So I have no idea how old this is. \u00a0At least 30 years old I’d guess. \u00a0Not difficult to find these online. \u00a0I saw one with a lid. \u00a0I guess that was to cover the bowl when it was not in use.<\/p>\n

For $3.00 I think this was a bargain!<\/p>\n
