Found this all today...

Fenton Vaseline stretch carnival glass footed bowl

Fenton white with green overlay glass Jacqueline pattern vase (uranium)

Fenton Custard Silver Crest glass vase

(Unknown maker for sure yet tho probably Duncan & sons circa 1885) vaseline glass cruet with stopper

(Unknown maker for sure yet) small old (original formula) Jadeite glass jar with lid

Northwood, nope change that... it's actually Fenton made for LG Wright custard glass ruffled bowl with Peacocks embossed on topside & floral pattern pressed into the bottom side.

---Paid $100 for all 6 of those pieces. I collect uranium glass & while $100 might seem high to some that's cheaper than any auction prices around here!

Next are the real screaming deals...

IU Purdue leaded slag glass panel swag lamp (no damaged glass). The kicker here is my sister graduated from IU & her husband graduated from Purdue, talk about finding the perfect gift for them for next to nothing!

Unknown maker white & amber slag leaded glass 40 panel hanging light/chandelier with a row of 8 floral panels & a row of 8 amber glass panels (no damaged glass).

Cheap, or well, newer but in perfect condition large hanging light with etched + beveled glass panels (no damage). Center body part of this light has a spotlight that points down & can be turned on or off separately.

Large antique hanging light, metal & glass, is a good 3' across & it hung down about 3 1/2' from a ceiling. It weighs a good 50lbs, have no idea where it came from originally but it had an antique mall sticker/price tag for $350 (which means nothing) but it's a neat light if you had a place to put it.

:laughing7:Get this I paid $5 for all 4 of those lights, not $5 each but $5 for them all together.... I was like you are kidding me right?:hello2: Had to take em all for that deal or else $5 each, they wanted them gone. I thought hum $5 for the one I actually want or $5 for them all, wasn't a hard decision.

The 2 Donald Duck Cola bottles I paid $5 for... The bigger one is from the 50's & has the cap.

Nice glass. $100 is not high if you know what you are looking at. You hit a home run with the Northwoods piece I believe. I have never seen that particular jadite piece before. And i've seen a lot of jadite. I like it. The cruet, US Glass, Hobbs, Bryce Brothers maybe?

Ah another Jadeite liker!! I haven't seen this piece before that I can remember either! It might have been a salt or pepper shaker with a different lid on it originally?

I agree on the Vaseline cruet.. Probably Hobbs or one of the others you mentioned but just not sure yet. It's en easy $50-$75 if not more depending on the maker.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vaseline-or-canary-Heavy-Finecut-cruet-/121193973966?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c37b948ce&nma=true&si=l7Dkz4kCoqAUaXnYiULYocV%252BVAA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Same exact body including the pontil, tho different stopper their claiming it's Duncan & sons circa 1885. I'd say my stopper matches much better so theirs might not be original. Sold for $69.00 + $13 shipping

The green overlay vase thing is my first piece like it, I was amazed when I hit it with my UV flashlight & it lit up like a Christmas tree! I would have lost money betting on it had no uranium in it.

The Northwood bowl is marked but it's marked in the same way some of the pieces that Fenton made for Northowood were marked, exactly like the Northwood custard shell cup/mug I have. It has a short extra line added to the end of the N making it look like a deformed W. The thing is I can't find this particular peacock pattern. It's not peacocks on a fence, it's not peacock at the fountain & not peacock at the urn. I have searched Northwood & Fenton for this pattern & so far nothing! It has peacocks embossed on the front, on the back it has a floral pattern pressed into the glass. Here's the mark & the backside (dunno why it looks so green in that pic?)

I thought it was the peacocks on a fence at first glance. I need a new set of eyes, lol. Unfortunately, that is an LG Wright mark, not Northwood. He used the actual Northwood mark on some pieces and was sued over it I believe. That is the "modified" mark he used after that.

It's officially known as the mark Fenton used when making pieces for LG Wright. (Fenton was a student of Northwood & they were always closely tied together.) Fenton modified the Northwood mark (because Fenton had many molds they used to make pieces for Northwood). So instead of making a new mark for the LG Wright pieces that Fenton produced they just modified the Northwood mark to look like a W instead of an N.... Fenton, Northwood & LG Wright were all closely tied together. LG Wright has some of the best quality amberina, Fenton was known for its great custard glass (& they produced a lot of custard glass for other companies), Northwood was known for its great carnival glass (that BTW Fenton actually invented/discovered while working under Northwood.)

I found this bowl listed under Fenton made for LG Wright but it says it has butterflies on the bottom & this one has a floral type design no butterflies that I can see. Weird!
