Due to the increase in volume of packages being shipped throughthe US Postal System, shipping times have occasionally been longer than those
estimated by either eBay or the USPS tracking tool.
Here are two vintage (1934-1936) water goblets
in the Clear Hobnail glass pattern, made by Hocking Glass Co.
(pre-Anchor Hocking Co.).
These measure nearly 5 1/2" tall, a little under 3" across the rim, and
about 2 1/2" across the foot... And will comfortably
hold about 8 ounces of fluid (will hold about 10 ounces if filled to overflowing).
These are old molded glass and have irregularities that
are not uncommon to this type of glass ... waviness, shear marks,
and the small lines called "straw marks", clusters
of miniscule bubbles in the glass, and mold marks.
Slightly less common to see, these also have a very slight iridescence
to the surface of the glass in areas - from age.
These were used fairly regularly
and have quite a bit of wear from this use ...
scuffs, scratches, small nips to the high contact and
raised areas. One goblet has a hobnail bump with a chip on the tip,
and the other goblet has several hobnail bumps with roughened tips.
Photos #15 through #23 show close-ups of wear, small nips
to the raised bands up near the rims, examples of the slight
rainbow iridescence on the surface, small interior bubbles,
one of the couple of tiny fleabite nips on the rim, and
what some call "straw marks" - these small wrinkles are
actually caused when the hot glass cools and hardens a little
upon touching the surface of the cooler mold as the piece is being formed.
Photo #24 is the hobnail bump with the chip on its tip.
Photo #25 is a close-up of one of the hobnail bumps
with a roughened tip ... easier to feel than see, but
visible under magnification. Also visible in this photo is
a nip to one of the raised bands above the hobnail bumps.
