do you know the brand or COE? gonna be hard to sell without knowing if its compatible with their existing glass.
Hello my fellow lampworkers!
I am new to the forum and to the glass world, I started working with glass in October of 2014. When i started I bought everything i needed in one shot (including a ton of glass) from a woman who was closing up her bead making studio. Right away I was drawn to borosilicate glass, but i am left with a bunch of soft glass that I am looking to sell. From what I've seen on this forum everyone seems very knowledgeable and helpful. I have a general idea of how much this glass is worth, I am looking for any offers/input regarding this glass. Here is a list of everything I have up for sale.

I'm not entirely sure, I was hoping someone who knows soft glass could help me out with that. The glass was labeled as shown and some of the bundles had little slips of paper in with them with the letter M- and the number that particular glass was. I tried to research the brand using the numbers but I couldn't find anything.
This is almost sure to be Effetre or Vetrofond. They use the same last three digits to identify the color.
Go to Frantz Art Glass < http://www.frantzartglass.com/index....x&cPath=79_108 >
Select a color and down near the "Add to cart" box, there is a model number. Look at the last three digits, and they should match the color of your rods.
The Frantz search function works well with partial numbers too.
None of those colors look particularly rare so I'd just look up current Frantz pricing and go from there. Keep in mind though that there are (relatively) frequent soft glass sales that take up to 50% off the "retail" price for those who are willing to wait for them.

Take life with a grain of salt.....a slice of lime, and a shot of tequila
Thanks for the help! 👍 I will get a more accurate value once I can sit down and look each color up. I'm not necessarily looking to get full retail value from this glass I just figured it may be of better use to someone else rather than sitting in my studio.
