New Hollywood Videos and Bottle Photos

We are pleased to announce the addition of two new Hollywood video clips and eleven Cambridge Cat and Dog bottle photographs to our site.

The first Hollywood video clip is from "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" starring Jean Arthur and James Stewart from 1939. It shows a dinner scene with 3111 Goblets probably with Carmen tops.

The second Hollywood video clip is from "Hail the Conquering Hero" starring Eddie Bracken with Ella Raines from 1944. This long clip introduces the movie theme as quickly as possible but is followed by several scenes showing Pressed Caprice Stemware.

Eleven Cat and Dog bottles photographs have been added to our photo albums courtesy of Sandy Bridwell-Walker from her 2016 convention program on Cambridge and New Martinsville cat and dog bottles.

New Stemware Identification Aid

The second addition of 2016 to our web site is a new stemware identification aid album. The album title is "Stemware - Full Shape Shown." It is located in the "Identification Aids" category on the albums home page, then subcategory "General Lines and Shapes." To quote from the album description:

"Examples of complete stemware singles and lines. Samples are shown with links to additional stems when available. Drinking vessels are the main items included but links may display other items on the same stems. Some links also display related footed tumblers that do not have stems."

We hope this album will help lead you to the proper identification of Cambridge stemware items. Open the album and scan the thumbnails for possible matches. When you find a possible match, click the thumbnail to display a larger image showing better details. Most of the initial images are goblets. Have something other than a goblet that appears to match the stem? Click the link to "View More Examples" of items with like stems. This album covers all available Cambridge stemware produced from 1902-1958 shown on the MVSG web site.

Still want to see more examples, use the SEARCH function using the item number and shape style name such as " 3011 cocktail." This search function may show several more examples including photographs of actual production items.
