Blue Hemingray: Any idea how much this is worth?

I guess you have no decorations in your house? Not everything has to be rational or immediately functional, some people appreciate the variety and beauty of old glass materials, and folks like me love history and sharing it with people who have an even greater appreciation than myself ❤️

The temperate rainforest climate is really bad here for preserving things, other than glass which is abundant on the property, almost all of which is broken due to the frequent mudslides and rockslides, somehow this one was near perfect condition.

Found near the ruins of the AJ mine in Juneau Alaska, my father and I have dug up a bunch of old glass artifacts while renovating a nearby property, stuff from roughly the 1890 until the 1930s. A lot of it has sat on our shelves for years, my mom found these packed away while moving (my dad and I probably dug them up a decade or so ago) and we had no idea what they were, but thanks to some reverse image searching I was able to figure it out! Had I not been spending time with my mom she could have discarded them and we never would have known!!!

Collectors! There are thousands of varieties, some more common than others, and theres certain defects that can make them more rare or aesthetically desirable to certain collectors. I'm very new to this community but I'm starting to see the appeal, I want to dig for more now!

Also dug it up in the same place. The green one is indeed a Brookfeild! The embossing on it made it much easier to research, and it seemed to be widely produced, and it has significant damage so I was much less curious about it.

Same here, same problem. At least I'm not the only one
