Wine glasses are 7" tall and etched with a floral/leaf pattern. They were a wedding gift to my parents in the 1940's. The cordial/apertiff glass is 5.5" tall. Several of these glasses were damaged when a family member mailed them to me. I would like an estimate of what replacement costs would be. Please email any information you have to catdla1@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Alvin Manufacturing Co. Silver Overlay Purfume Bottle

History
Description
I have a perfume bottle made by the Alvin Manufacturing Company. It has thick Silver overlay that has been tooled. There is a blank cartouche that a monogram could be engraved on. It has two large flowers and lots of vines in the overlay. It is in very good condition...perhaps excellent condition. The stopper and the bottle are marked 285 and so are a matched set. The stopper has a very small chip on the bottom and you can see it inone of the photos I think. The makers mark is really small at just over an 1/8th inch long. The silversmith stuttered when appling the crescent and sword punch. The glass is pretty clear and could be improved by cleaning the inside of the bottle.
With the stopper installed, the bottle is 4 1/2 inches tall. It is 4" wide at the widest part of the bottle.
The bottle is for sale, but I have not listed it on Ebay or any other site as of yet.

Taking Photographs
Does anyone have advice on how to take decent pictures of marks or backstamps on china, crystal, pottery, etc. I've had requests for pictures of the marks on items I'm selling, but no matter how many ways I try, all my pictures come out blurred or too bright from the flash, etc.
I would appreciate any tips anyone has. Thanks!

History
Description
This is made of early GREEN glass and shows a Pontil mark on the base. There are mold lines starting from the base but only go up about 2/3 rds of the Pitcher and do not go all the way to the top. There is a mold ribbing towards the top area but they do not go all the way to the top either. The bright enamel paint is almost 100% intact with the exception of a few spots here an there. Hand painted face. Have never come across one of these in the 8 years I have been selling glassware, nor has anyone else I have contacted seen one before. No one seems to know anything about it.

My grandfather has a large cabinet filled with collectible bells and oil lamps from my grandmother who passed away years ago. I can just look at some and tell they aren't worth a whole lot but some could be worth a lot of money. There are probably over 100 bells and lamps in it. I have listed several pictures with this. If you need larger pictures, contact me please as i have much higher quality pictures than what is allowed here.
