mystery glass

[Goose]

I have this glass and need more.  I don't remember where I got it so ................ can anyone tell me what it is??

 

[JoanFrances]

it looks like one of the ring mottled from Youghigheny (sp?)  If it has any white at all it could be their #Y4302HS

Hiya Goose! I could be Youghiogheny or Oceana. Are you able to take it into a stained glass shop and ask them there?

[Alan]

What is on the sticker(?) in the upper left corner of the picture - can't really tell what that might be - perhaps a clue? Perhaps you could send me a larger picture via email?

[nansea121]

LoL, I was wondering the same thing Alan.

[Goose]

Its a sku number.  I googled it with no results.  I'm on my way to work, where the glass is.  I'll get the numbers and stuff and post it tonite.  Can't get on this site at work.  I've been blocked or something.  Or I'll email nansea and she can share the number.  Thanks you guys!  I'm lost for now.

it kinda looks like something from Wissmach except for having the mottles, which are throwing me a bit, for some reason they don't look as defined as some of the mottle glass that I've seen but I can't tell if it's because of the photo or the glass.

Goose just sent me the SKU # 522409 of her mystery glass. Perhaps if the bar code was scanned, more info might be available.

[JoanFrances]

Goose, where did you buy it.  Bring it there and have them scan it, with it being made in China it sure isn't the one I thought it could be, or any of the other US companies

[Rebecca]

I thought it looked like Youghiogheny reproduction glass 1049, but Youghiogheny is made in Pennsylvania so that's not it.  I think Oceana is made in China, but I've never seen a sticker on it saying so.  Hobby Lobby has some glass made in China, but I don't know if it has stickers.

She's not sure where she bought it but maybe from Hobby Lobby. I suggested she should try and have that bar-code scanned.

I just looked at my glass stash as I purchased a few pieces of hobby lobby glass when I was in Oklahoma. Mine isnt the same but close and the tag is identical except for the last set of numbers. So that's where I would start

[Barbara]

Isn't Armstrong glass made in China.  I have to look through my Armstrong stuff and see if there are any similarities

[Wayne]

That piece looks like Armstrong which is made in China.
Oceana is owned by Youghiogheny and made in the US.

[Kev]

Armstrong is made in China? I didn't know that! I really like some of their glass.

[Anne]

I didn't know that about Armstrong either.  So people if you want Armstrong glass this is probably the time to buy it.  China just announced a buy China edict so that means most of the other countries will follow suit. Scary thought. We'd better all stock up cause if this does come down the tubes lots of things will become difficult to buy! Sorry, not trying to mess with your thread Goose, just a thought!

[JoanFrances]

Never knew about Armstrong glass either.  No wonder so many sites don't even have it.  I have of their glass and I never would have guessed.  The glass I do have from them, I rather like too. 

Until recently, I had never run across Oceana glass.  A lady in my area advertises she carries it and I couldn't wait to take a look at it, she only had 2 pieces of it in the shop.  Do they have a seperate web site, sure would like to take a look at it.  How is it to work with? 

Here is a question I have had for some time and no one has ever been able to answere for me.  "What makes some glass seem more brittle than other glass when you're score line runs?"

[Audrey]

Joan Frances, I have wondered that myself. Thanks for bringing that up.

That is definitely Hobby Lobby and the SKU is their internal number -- have some of the very same sitting on the shelf at home...

According to Tillie Hobby Lobby's glass that is made in China is Gecko glass -- she supposedly asked at her local store and that is what they told her, I have not been able to find someone as knowledgeable at my stores to confirm or deny this...

I have also spent hours trying to match the other numbers Hobby Lobby displays on their bin tags for this series of glass and have not been able to match it to anything -- I've tried Armstrong, Gecko, and numerous other ones to no avail.

Graham has also mentioned that the Hobby Lobby glass is usually the ends of production runs or what some manufacturers call TX so good luck matching it if you need more for a project....

As far as Armstrong being made in China, that is very true and you have to be very careful if you are ordering using an older sample set because the shop I deal with in Nashville has ordered glass that was supposed to be one color according to what they thought was a current sample set and what they have received was nothing close -- I'm talking as extreme as ordered orange and got purple...

Armstrong is an American company which makes it glass in China.  They used to make it just ouside of Atlanta.  Now they use that facility as a warehouse and it is open to the public.  When they made glass in GA, it was not popular.  After they moved the glass making to China, it remained not popular. 

To find out for sure if they are a supplier to Hobby Lobby, call them!
