PLEASE HELPI have a tumbler set with pitcher. The tumblers (5) are bulbous. I'm not sure if they are depression glass or not but I would love to know something about them. They were my mother's. How do I go about it? I have looked on ebay and have been through several pages on this site so far and haven't found anything. Is it possible to send a picture of them? Thank you. Submit your estimate of worth |

Right after I sent in the appraisal, I happened on the tumblers on Antiquesnavigator.com. They are 1936 Dunbar Aramis rings pattern tumblers. The picture I saw (page 2 of Depression glass--tumblers) had a matching pitcher. My set has a different pitcher. Jack |

| You can find these iridescent glasses in the published 1938 catalog of Dunbar glass, printed by West Virginia Museum of American Glass. In the catalogs, back then in the 1930s, "Aramis" name wasn't used; this nickname must have come later after the war, likewise, Porthos, Athos for other Dunbar glass sets....why three musketeers? Jack, any history of when your mum got this set? The catalog shows glasses and pitchers could be bought separately. When assembled together in the catalog, it is not this pitcher which is featured, but another which has a shape more like the tumblers--lots of horizontal ribs. There are other Dunbar tumblers which match your pitcher better. They started doing them in 1931 as featured in the 1931 catalog. | |||||||||
