Something's Fishy 'Round Here. I Hope It Ain't These Amazing Libbey Glasses. Status: Traded For!
So I finally got in touch with sabo_meenyo (who had mentioned a time or two that she'd like to do a glass swap!) and we made the trade! She seemed really pleased with the glassware I had for her and I'm sure everybody reading knows how much I love these Libbey "Fish" Glasses.
These "Pine Cone" glasses above are what I traded for the odd number lot of Libbey "Fish"
glasses. A while back I had a set of 6 fish glasses but sold them to a buyer who really twisted
my arm! I mean she TWISTED that arm hard! She had to, to get me to let them go. I
hemmed and hawed but eventually relinquished them. I've missed them ever since.
Then, a few days ago I found a pair of the Parfait glasses out in the Garage in a mystery box
with a few other nearly forgotten items. I posted about them and sabo meenyo tried once
again to get me to trade. This time I got off my lazy butt and contacted her and Shazam! the
trade was made yesterday. Yeehaw!
So here's where I stand now. Three of each. Erg. I have a little problem with uneven sets. But...
three of three...there is a certain symmetry to that setup. I don't think that will cause me too
much anxiety until I can find more to round out the collection. Maybe I'll sell some of my
Southern Comfort barware to finance the hunt!

Hm....I guess you wouldn't be interested in the 3 glasses I have in this pattern that look like this (mine are the ones in the middle):

locogirlp - I totally would love to get those 3 glasses! But...Texas? I don't do much buying, selling or trading online. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI saw 2 of the parfait fish glasses at the Creve Coeur Antique mall the other day. I think they were 5 bucks a piece.
