My mom has collected depression glass for as long as I can remember. She bought and sold in her 2nd hand shop. She is 83. Each of us 6 kids picked a pattern and she helped us find pieces for the one we picked.
I have an extensive collection of Clear Manhattan.I also have Rudy pieces that mix and match with the Manhattan.Have had this collection for 40 years. Never had china these were our *good* dishes. Love it still.
I also collect Wexford glass.
