Wanted

Marie McKee would like to purchase nine of these shades

I would prefer this pattern….but would consider other white Art Deco…..but I need 6 in one pattern and 3 in another pattern if we are going to vary.

Marie can be reached at mckeem1951@icloud.com

What Do These Numbers Mean?

Lisa Ackerman Baldwin has a question about a piece she recent acquisition. It is a Steuben
453 Calcite and Blue Aurene basket. http://www.cardersteubenclub.com/shapes/item-view.cfm? category=Shape%20Index&recordID=25601&back=1

On the bottom someone had at some point written:

Now I get that 453 would be the shape number, and that 8 would be the size, ( it actually stands higher, but is eight inches from rim to rim) but what would the A Co mean

And would this have been a factory code or maybe indicating that it came from Alphonse Constantine or Wile E. Coyote bought it from the Acme Co.?

Maybe it was a previous owners own collector’s note?

My thanks for anyone with a plausible idea. I was going to wash it off first thinking it was A drivers license number or some other writing that detracted from the piece.

Blessings from California! :)) Lisa Ackerman Baldwin
