NFGS Annual Mice for 2018

By Sharon Fenner

Once again the NFGS is offering two annual mice.  First is Iridized Eggplant which is available for $29.  Next is the Ruby-Opal Slag mouse available for $29.  Both colors of mice were made at the Mosser Glass Co.  These mice are available to members renewing for the 2018 membership year, limited to one of each per household (Primary member), on a first come, first serve basis. Quantities are limited - renew early to ensure receiving your 2018 annual mice.

The Ruby-Opal Slag mouse has sold out. 

We are substituting Cobalt/Milk slag for the balance of the year. The Cobalt/Milk mice were pressed at Fenton Collectible's and originally offered as 2015 membership mice. As the photos show there is quite a difference in color. Each is a one-of-a-kind!

Just 'Cuz it Says Fenton...

By Anne Blackmore

Below top: New Martinsville #34 Addie Jade Sherbets - tells are the 'umbrella points' on the sherbets, and New Martinsville Jade glows under black light.

Left bottom: Decorated Vase from Regent Line by Consolidated - tells are the shape and very large bumps around the center, plus the violets are both blue and purple.

Below: Westmoreland #1902 Green Marble Bud Vase - this is a distinct  Westmoreland color combination, and the vase is very plain.

If you know your Fenton shapes, you will be less likely to purchase a mis-labeled piece, and more likely to find a Fenton rarity!  Remember the late Tom Smith's mantra, "Know your shapes!!"SO18-13-_Sherbets.jpg

Convention Highlights

By Debra Ekart

Debra Ekart shares with our readers some of her favorite convention experiences.  From seeing old friends, to meeting new ones, her time went by too quickly.  She did have the opportunity to add several 'treasures' to her collection. Imagine the thrill of finding a 'Sample' tag on the bell she already was happy to have added to her collection!

2018 Charity Drawing Results

By Millie Coty

Each year the NFGS has a 50/50 raffle, usually to benefit a Williamstown non-profit organization. This year is an exception, as our 50/50 Drawing was dedicated to an individual rather than an organization.  Our total of $636.00 went to help the family of Jesse Enoch, five-year old daughter of Former Fenton Decorator and Designer Stacy Williams Enoch.  In late May, Jesse was diagnosed with leukemia.  

The pictures speak for themselves. We wish Jesse a complete and speedy recovery.

The Fenton Years

By Carolyn Kriner

The author takes us along on a trip down memory lane.  Somehow there is no happily-ever-after to this story, except for all the wonderful memories we have to share with those who never made it to the Fenton factory. Our experiences were the best of times.
