My son was born in 1985 a few months before my very small Eastern Washington small town got first shipments of Cabbage Patch. A pharmacy ran a contest. I put his name in & he won a boy doll. When I went to pick it up, I was chilled all over. It's name was/is Berkley Webb. My father's middle name was Berkley & my maternal grandfather's name was Webb. Wonderful for a woman & now a son who love little & big blessings without explanation.

She does! I think the things I look for are how it's finished on the bottom (a smooth scooped out mark where a rough broken pontil mark should be is often a sign of new methods), and whether it feels greasy and slick (new glass holds an oily feeling from the annealing processes they use now).

In some sellers' vocabulary: Rare - the seller only found one last week at a rummage sale/tag sale. Unique - hand-made and who'd want there to be a second one? (Unless it's a mass-produced piece of Chinese junk and the seller is clueless.) If you really want to make me crazy "very unique". (arggh!) 14:45 They still make tabletop cookers although probably not the base. I use mine on an unheated enclosed porch during the summer. Cooks the meat or whatever without cooking us in the house. 18:52 That cat-shaped laundry sprinkler .... somebody did NOT remember that cats don't like water. My cat would not be appreciative.

Hi George! That Paris porcelain vase was really pretty. I've always wanted a vintage croquet set, but that one wasn't priced to sell...to me, anyway. I see the term "rare" used a lot, and I have to laugh at them. I used to have a set of the chalkware genie ashtrays, in the green, but sold them long ago. That "Ebbtide" vase actually caught my eye. I'm not much into "weirdly coloured" animal kingdom items, but I kind of liked that piece. I used to have a Frankoma cookie jar with cattle brands all over it...sold it when I moved here.

Merriam-Webster said it best: RARE, SCARCE, and UNCOMMON mean being in short supply. RARE is usually used for an object or quality of which only a few examples are to be found and which is therefore especially appreciated, e.g. "He found a rare gem". SCARCE is used for something that for a while is in short supply, e.g. "That piece of Fenton glass is scarce, you don't find them every day but if you wait awhile, they turn up".
