Anchor Hocking Green Punch Bowl Set

I have this exact same set that I dug out of the garage today. It is listed in my MIL's wedding book as a gift in 1951.

I am considering selling it but you know how those heart strings pull at you when you try to part with a piece of your families past.

So.....are you suggesting that they might not pull so hard if the bid gets high enough?!?!

My mom had one of those when I was little....

I think the first time I ever heard my mom cuss was when I broke one of the little cups.....

Glassware sells really well. I used to sell quite a bit of it. I would love that same set in ruby red.

I think if you aren't attached sell it, but if you think someone in the next generation would love it, I'd save it.

Should be interesting !!!!!!!!

Ya know, I really do love glass and I have quite a few pieces that I do use on special occasions. I don't have room on my selves for this set.

I didn't think to ask ds if he wants it. He loves glass too but mostly crystal glasses.

I figure it's worth atleast $50.00 and I guess I will keep it awhile longer. I can always sell it later if he doesn't want it, right?

So far there are no bids on it. I think maybe it's listed at too high a starting price.

The punch bowl set sold for $49.99 with one bid. I figure the person listed it for the least amount they would take on the item. I've done that before too. Sometimes you take a chance not selling it but sometimes you do good like this one did.

I asked ds if he wanted to keep the set and he said no. I think I may just give it to one of my sisters as a present. That way I know who it went to and they will always know where it came from.
