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.

Keep your eyes open for more examples of Cambridge Glass in TV shows and movies. We know that it can be difficult to take your eyes off the main action on the screen but watch the backgrounds, particularly elegant room settings and restaurants. You never know when Cambridge Glass will appear. Studio prop departments must still have a supply of Cambridge Glass as it is still showing up in new shows and movies.
Please let us know if you notice Cambridge Glass in other movies or TV shows by sending an email to: contact@mvsg.org. Include as much information as you can including movie or TV show title, what you saw and a description of the scene. If it is a TV series, include the season number, episode number and episode title. The production or airing year is often helpful also. Some good movies have been remade multiple times. The database at http://www.imdb.com is helpful in learning additional information. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for us to find the sighting of Cambridge Glass.
