These are a few I found last weekend in junk shops in and around Eugene, Oregon. My collection is small, and I am not a true collector. I don't care much about pressure cracks in the glass, and as long as there aren't any dangerously sharp chips in the glass, I don't care about those, either. I just love them, and I think they're beautiful.

I am with you on all points -- I think they are cool -- love the green one!
Trunkman, I'm glad you agree! Thank you, I love the green one, too!
Welcome to the board! I love these as well...
P.S -- if you have more than one, you are a "true" collector... :)
Thank you, Toolate2 :)
Valentino97, I love the colors! The light shining through them can always make me smile. Even the clear ones are beautiful, and each is slightly different from the other.
Trunkman, well, I think I must be a true collector then. I have about 50 of them, now! Only about half of them are in excellent conditions - the rest have small chips here and there, and 3 or 4 of them are more damaged than that. The thing is, I even loved the damaged ones :) That's what I meant when I said I am not a 'true' collector!
There are different types of collectors -- some have a passion for perfection, others are perfecting their passion. I believe you and I and many others fall into the latter category.
