I've been going through my folks things for some time - it is slow going. I'm now into the pressed glass. I was very impressed with the assistance here with one item of EAPG. The bad news is that I have tons of this stuff - we are talking pack rats of the highest order - I come from a long line of them. I know some of the patterns because I liked them and asked about them. But I don't know about quite a few of them and the pattern books are huge. So I wondered if maybe someone here might recognize the stuff I do not know. I know Star of David, Stars and Bars, Petal. I will post the ones I cannot ID separately and maybe someone will recognize at least some of it. It really is pretty stuff as you can see in the picture. I am keeping the brilliant period and European and Bohemian cut glass, and a few favorite pieces of EAPG that have sentimental value, but the rest alas does not fit in the china cabinet and has to go.

more stunning glass :)
Wow, you have a lot to sort through! We have some great resources on this site, as you are aware, I am sure they will help. I will try but have a meager EAPG knowledge base.
TY AmberRose. If you see anything you recognize that is great. Otherwise, thanks for looking and loving. I'll try to post some of my fav pieces that I have put in my own collection. Regretibly one cannot keep everything.....
I wish I could keep all my finds too! But, I'd have to have a couple of houses, and a big barn ; ) I think it is also wonderful to pass pieces to people who love and appreciate them.
I'll keep on looking as long as you keep posting!
