Often free with the purchase of a good or service, colorful Depression Glass dinnerware has adorned American tables since the late 1920s. This group is dedicated to preserving the history and joy of this vintage American treasure produced by companies such as Hazel-Atlas, Federal, Anchor Hocking, Jeannette, and McKee.

I still sell depression glass quite often - in an antique mall. But, I don't even try to sell "sets" of anything. Most people only want a piece or two for their collection, so you may have better luck piecing things out - then they probably will sell for you at reasonable prices. The market is still soft on dg, but the collectors are still out there! :)

Your post didn't mention "garage sale",thought you had a b&m or sold on-line.
Go to an Antique Store, ask if they have any DG sets...they won't, it is rare. Consign your set to the store. They'll jump at it and probably sell it in 1-2 days.

Well, I guess people don't expect to see sets of glassware at a garage sale for $150 added to the fact not many people around here seem interested in Depression glass anymore.

Lillian,
My book is old and lists prices from 1986. For example a sugar & creamer was valued at $21.50; on eBay a set sold for $22.30 and another for $30.
In 1986 your set was valued at $158. Using ratio/proportion we can say that
21.50 is to 30 as 158 is to X, X = $220.47
Couple more items. Your DG was made by Indiana Glass Co,between 1930-33. It contains Uranium oxide which turns bright yellow-green under a black light (Ultra violet).
I noticed on ebay the ads that showed a picture under a black light sold for more than those without.

What would be a reasonable price to ask for a green luncheon set for 8 in the pattern "Horseshoe" (a.k.a. No. 612)? There are 8 cups, 8 saucers, 8 salad plates, large sandwich serving plate and a sugar & creamer (27 pieces). It's in good condition and is not reproduction.

Anniversary is the "old" name ~ in our newest book we updated this to Diamond Cut, the company's original name. This is indeed DG and the color is called Amberescence. Let me know if you wish to update your book!!

Could be just the lighting, but it is iridescent - like a very light marigold carnival glass.

The sawtooth edge looks like Imperial. Don't have time right now to research. Later. Looks like Yellow to me, or amber.

I picked this up at a tag sale recently. I think the pattern resembles Anniversary, but in the Depression glass book I have, iridescent color is not listed. Please help ID this 3-leg, 6" bowl.
