I still have lots of boxes in the garage to go through that contain items to list in my online stores. Trying to keep organized is hard because there is so much. But, a couple of days ago I just had the urge to unpack some boxes. I don't know what is in them until I unwrap the items - it's like Christmas morning. It is so much fun! I found some of the Greentown glass that we are going to sell and I have unpacked about 8 boxes - wasn't all Greentown glass. I know there has to be more in the packed boxes somewhere, but I need to stop and get what I did unpacked listed before I get out of control again. I decided to try to get all pieces in one pattern and list together. My first group is the Overall Lattice or No. 38 pattern. Only 4 different pieces so far, but it's a start.
The Overall Lattice pattern was first introduced in 1897. Designed by Charles Miller, it is one of the first tableware patterns made by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company of Greentown, Indiana. It was originally just called No. 38. Jule Braun, the outside sales rep for the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company unveiled the new pattern, Overall Lattice or No. 38 at the Pittsburgh Exhibit in January 1897 and described it as follows:
"Our No. 38 is a ribbed pattern, bright and strong, unfinished and cheap. It is a short line, no high flyer, but a common sense set which will just suit the lower millions."
I just thought that was too funny.
