Hi
Researching this little glass suggests it is from the early 1900's. I have seen similar pieces that state that as the age. It looks like new but I have no idea how long it has been stashed away at the back of a cupboard.
Can anybody confirm that date is correct?
Thanks

Yes , American!! how did that end up in the UK? Minn is the next state to Wis where I live!!
I have no idea Sean. My parents had it for years. I do not even know of anybody visiting the USA. It is a small world. LOL
yes, this is EAPG. It is ruby stained tho' (not ruby flashed). This is George Duncan's Sons & Co, . #39 Button Arches, c.1897; was continued by Duncan & Miller from 1900 for a number of years. Ruby stained souvenir glass was quite popular around that time.
Thanks TallCakes. I am very new to this and have loads to learn. I really appreciate your advice.
