$250.00

You are purchasing a four piece table set manufactured by the Northwood Company Wheeling, West Virginia. The pieces you are purchasing are open sugar, creamer, spooner and covered butter dish. These pieces were manufactured in the time period from 1904 to 1907. They are well over 100 years old. Each of the four items is marked with the classic capital N underlined within a circle.

Condition:
Judging the conditions of these pieces is highly subjective based on what criteria we utilize to evaluate the pieces. Three of the pieces have no chips, cracks or repairs. The top of the butter dish is in the same condition. The butter dish base does have a chip on its top side.(see photograph 9) Turning the base of the butter dish over, the very bottom of the base is chipped. (see photograph 10) Above the base is a secondary ring, this ring also has some chipping. The pencil is in between these two chips(see photograph 10). In addition to the area photographed there are also a few other small chips on this secondary ring. The mold line on the handles in some areas has some roughness. (see photographs 11 and 12)
The gold rimmed trim shows significant wear. The cable gold trim is in very good condition. There is enough color left on the cherries to identify the original color.Sizes:
Spooner: 4 1/8 inches handle to handle, 6 3/4 inches tall., 4 inches diameter.
Open Sugar: 4 inches handle to handle, 6 inches tall, 3 3/4 inches diameter.

Mission Statement

I have been collecting EAPG glass, depression glass, and other types of glass for a number of years. I have recently decided it is time to sell a large part of this collection. I am going to attempt to sell the majority of my collection in multiple pieces of a company\'s product line. For example: Fostoria American, Anchor Hocking, May Fair, Federal Glass, Sharon Cabbage Rose, Imperial Glass, Candlewick etc.I would appreciate any comments on this sales concept verses selling single item pieces.

The majority of my collection was acquired in various tag and estate sale sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Notes/Comments on Vintage Glass

My items are available for sale in an \"As Is\" condition. All the glass being sold is vintage. This means the glass pieces were manufactured between 1890 and 1960 unless stated otherwise (most pieces were manufactured from 1900 to 1940). The glass being sold is USED, it is not NEW. In many cases the quality of the glass does not equal what is being manufactured today. The manufacturing methods were not modern. The result of these manufacturing methods is they item may have:

\"Straw Marks\"
Rough Edges
Bubbles
Mold Marks
Other Discontinuities

These items are not usually found in modern glass. These are to be EXPECTED in vintage glass. Also this glass was probably used at the kitchen or dining room table, it was then washed. It may have been taken in and out of the ice box or refrigerator. The results of these actions are that many of the pieces may exhibit surface scratches or other type of wear discontinuities.

I will attempt to identity any discontinuities found in the glass, by describing the discontinuities and if possible showing them in my pictures (not always an easy thing to accomplish).

Fact: I am not a glass expert. I will do my best to describe the glass and identify discontinuities. It is possible I might describe a condition different than you would describe it. It is also possible in some cases we would both look at things differently.

Read my description carefully. Look at the pictures carefully. Utilize the blowup the zoom feature. In doubt ask a question. This may help us both to \"see\" what the other one sees. Neither of us wants to have an item to have to be returned. NOBODY WINS.
