In spite of the above welcoming committee, the
29th Annual All Heisey Show and Sale was a big
success. If you did not attend this year’s show,
shame on you, because you missed out on many rare
and beautiful pieces of Heisey glass.
Starting out with the rare
and beautiful, how about a
Zircon Cane? If you didn’t
stop by Norm and Jan
Thran’s booth in the first ten
minutes of the show, you
missed it! Heisey workers
made these canes to carry in
parades. In the dozen or so
years I’ve been attending the
Heisey show, this was the
first Cane I have seen.
If you didn’t need a Cane, how about a 1225 Plain
Band Toy Table Set? There were 3 to choose from!
Orphaned pieces
were in plentiful
supply, for those
people looking to
match up and
complete cream,
sugar, and table
sets. Speaking of
cream and sugars,
there was a 7068
Four Arch set, and
an 1189 Yeoman
Individual Footed set
in Moongleem. Both
sets would occupy a
place of honor in any
Heisey cream and
sugar
collection.
Unfortunately, my
wallet was not big enough for either set!
Do
you
like
Crystolite?
Our
dealers had a couple
of pieces. The Cake
Salver, Basket, 13”
Shell Tray, Five
Compartment Shell
Relish, Shell Chip
and Dip, Cocktail Shaker, and Stems were all prominently displayed throughout the show.
If you were looking for something rare, and missed the Cane,
there was a 357 Prison Stripe
Spooner, and 300 Peerless Berry
Bowl, both Opalescent! After the
piece was pulled from the mold, it
was placed back in the fire until
the top turned white. The effect is
quite lovely with the piece fading
from opaque white, to milky blue,
to crystal.
Candlesticks and Candelabras
were displayed in abundance.
There was a 520 Innovation
Candle Lamp with a nice cutContinued on next page

Well, the dust has cleared, and most of the checks
have been written. As expected, the 29th Annual All
Heisey Show and Sale did quite well. We will be
deciding how to disperse the show profits to HCA at
the May meeting, so if you have any suggestions,
please let us know what they are.
PROGRAM
Officers, for next year, were elected at the last
meeting. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!
That’s right, the club voted to retain the current officers for one more year. John Martinez - President,
Knobby Ross - Vice President, Maezene Walker Secretary, and Chris Maskaleris - Treasurer. Thanks
to everyone for serving another year.

ting, and a pair of 126
Trophy Candlesticks
in Moongleem. One
of our club members
purchased a pair of
134 Trident 2-light
Candlesticks in Alexandrite. Also, there were two
pairs
of
1488
Kohinoor 2-light
Candlesticks
in
Zircon, one pair
with Bobeches and
Prisms, and the
other without. And
don’t forget about the pair of 1469-1/2 Ridgeleigh 1light Candelabra with Experimental Blue Bobeches!
If you do not care for
Candlesticks, how about a Cracker
Jar? There was a 1205 Fancy
Loop, 1235 Chrysanthemum
(Beaded Panel
and Sunburst),
and a 325 Pillows
Cracker Jar, all of
them looking for
a new home.
Our program for the April meeting was a Review
Of and Finds From the Show. Cindy Silberblatt (The
Queen of Green) had a 501 Fogg Flower Box in
Moongleem. Rachel Keith added to her collection of
Nimrod Carving with a 4044 New Era Cocktail. She
also found a 1255 Pineapple and Fan Tumbler with
good gold around the rim, and an 1295 Opal Beaded
Swag Tumbler with a nice floral decoration. Sam
Martinez brought in a 394 Narrow Flute Covered
Cheese and Cracker. He purchased the bottom at the
Salvation Army in 1994 for $4.00, and finally found
the lid at our show for $8.00. One of our dealers was
selling the set for $125.00! Andy Martinez had the
distinction of buying the ugliest piece of Heisey at
the show. It was a Sparky with painted red lips, cigarette stained teeth, a white mane, and blotches of
gold and black covering it’s body. Andy says it has
character. I brought in a 473 Narrow Flute with Rim
Griddle Cake Set. I purchased the Syrup many years
ago thinking it was an Individual Cream. After years
of searching, I finally found the Plate and Cover to
the set at our show. Yeah for me!
The program for our May Meeting is 1205 Fancy
Loop, so please bring examples. This is our last
newsletter for the year, so if I don’t see you at the
next meeting, have a great summer, and find lots of
Heisey for our September program... “Finds of the
Summer”.
See ya at the next meeting,

Pitcher? Just about ever dealer had

Pitcher, a 1280 Winged
Scroll Pitcher in Emerald,

Jug in Cobalt.

There were Candy Jars
and Boxes in all shapes,
sizes, and colors for that
sweet tooth of yours. And,
who can do without a
Heisey Syrup to use when
serving pancakes and waffles for Sunday Brunch?
As you can tell from this
article, our show had something for everyone. The
only thing our Dealers did
not bring was a Cut Block or Winged Scroll Custard
Cup! Oh well, maybe next year. See ya at the 30th
Annual All Heisey Show and Sale.
