Unfortunately, people like me are driving the price of these glasses ever upward, much to the annoyance of the real dealers, who want to buy cheap and sell expensive. A few years ago, I would but one on eBay and immediately relist it and sell it for more, but those days are over.

I love that you have a painting that displays the like.<br /><br />P.S. I saw your comment on someone else post and followed you back here.

I have some stuff which sets under ultra violet light, but my stuff just never goes hard enough to polish properly (story of my life? NO!) I don't know what they use.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-23159552152418143572010-04-24T06:39:08.400-07:002010-04-24T06:39:08.400-07:00It is very pretty.
