This spooner is in excellent antique condition. There are no cracks or chips or flea bites. The glass is clear with a frosted base. Made by Hobbs Brockunier as pattern No. 79 AKA “Frosted Goat Head”. The pattern and manufacturer are confirmed in EAPGS.net. There is a picture of a frosted table set. I have included a written record of my mother-in-law’s purchase in 1971.
The spooner was in the collection of Gene Thornton, Huntsville, Alabama.
My mother in law, Gene, collected patterned glass in the late 1960s until late 1970s. She spent many happy hours going through antique classified ads (we have come a long way). She enjoyed sharing her knowledge and often spoke at women’s groups all over north Alabama. We are downsizing and therefore selling the pieces. This is only one of many. Please check my other listings. Check often because I will be listing more items over the next few weeks.
If you purchase more than one piece at the same time, text me so that I can combine them and save you postage. Gene kept good records of what she bought except for a few odd pieces. I have used these records, plus ChatGPT (with caution), plus my own research to establish pattern, dates and pricing.
Sold as is. I have done my best to describe the item accurately, and to give an honest opinion. I suggest you look at the pictures, and read the descriptions to determine if the item is what you want. If you are still unsure, please send questions before you buy.
