Hi Joey,

You are sharp! It is the 1987 one. I purchased it from Wonderbook that have a storefront on Amazon, they are in the DC/Metro area.

There are 3 more copies left, and one of them even have your inscriptions (the most expensive one).

Thank you for the knowledge on Mezuza(h?) parchment, I looked online and finally understand why those are so clean and well kept on a few houses in N. Carolina that I saw. I always thought it was a newspaper tube or some kind of community post box.

 Shocked  You don't know! Just kidding... I can't find anything on how to carve glass overlay, so was just taking a blind shot  Smiley


I tend to like to find out all I can before I ask for help, one of my teacher is like that. He will not answer unless you showed that you already researched first (if his mood is foul, then it better be some great research...).

I have 2 small red overlay glass bottles that I scavenge hunted for 50. One of them (2nd favorite of all bottle/trinkets, a little over 2 inches) was planned to be for my last photo post, and another (under 2 inches) is like 4 or 5 photo post more down the line of my trinkets. But, the more I look around the net and read the incoming stream of books, the more curious I am becoming. I still can not find a same one (on all these parts size, bottle shape, overlay carving). For a while I was thinking these are good fakes, as they are not flat. But, after reading Perry's book (pages on bottle shape) and seeing some nice older bottles that are not imperial. I am thinking there is a small chance...

I put the really nice things I stumbled into elsewhere, so will need to make a trip and take some photos of one of them for either this week or next. I can't contain my curiosity after seeing you wonderful plain and carved glass so is pulling that smaller one forward.

Thank you,
David
