We are using the EBay shipping calculator on our listings. We DO combine shipments and ONLY charge the exact shipping cost. If more shipping money is needed, we pay it. After a box is shipped we refund ALL excess shipping money. We do NOT charge for packing supplies, time to pack, time to go to the Post Office, money to cover our EBay and PayPal fees, or anything else. We do NOT charge a "per item fee" if you win more than one auction. All buyers should ask that the postage cost be printed on the shipping label so they know exactly how much the postage cost. PayPal charges a fee for each transaction so if you win more than one item please wait for an invoice from us with the combined shipping total.What is being offered now is the Boyd Glass Kitten on a Pillow in the color Lemon Ice that glows nicely by a blacklight as you can see in the pictures. This was color number 17 in the limited series of 46 colors run in this mould and was made on 8/30/1979. The pillow section of the mould was removed in order to make the Miss Cotton mould so no more of these Kittens on a Pillow can ever be made. We are listing quite a bit of Boyd Glass this week and do combine shipments to save you shipping money so make sure to see it all! And the Boyd's never repeated a color in any mould so that makes Boyd Glass highly collectible. The Boyd Factory and showroom are now closed and the Boyd's have removed the Boyd Diamond B logo from all of their moulds. They also sold all of the moulds. Since they took the logo off of the moulds, and the Boyd Diamond B logo is trademarked, that means no more Boyd Glass items can ever be made which makes Boyd Glass even more highly collectible. This piece measures about 3 inches tall and is marked with the Diamond B of Boyd Glass with no line under the Diamond B which shows it was made in the 1st five years of the Boyd operation. This beautiful piece of glass has no cracks or chips, the shiny places are reflected lighting. As with any hand pressed glass item there may be some tiny bubbles but absolutely no cracks or chips.I worked at Boyd Crystal Art Glass in Cambridge for a number of years. I was employed there from about 1979 to 1987. For those of you that came to the Boyd Glass factory in that time period, I was the tall, thin, moustache faced, 20-something year old that worked in the factory. If you took the "tour", I was probably the employee working on the production line that the glass process to you while you watched us work. The time I spent at Boyd Glass is a memorable time in my life that I will not forget. I told my wife that the glass I purchased while employed at Boyd's and since then would be sold to help pay for our two daughters college educations and even though they have both graduated, we will be paying off the debt for some time to come and my wife is making sure that I keep to my plan. I will be putting some of the items I purchased up for sale on Ebay. I have a lot of older Boyd pieces, and some of the newer ones. I will be putting them on as I unpack them from the boxes I stored them in, or take them off the shelves in our home, find them at sales or get them at the Boyd factory. They will not be in any particular order. These will all be first quality Boyd Glass, with no cracks or chips, and will make a great addition to any collection. If any of you remember me from Boyd's, please bid on this and help my daughter's college fund. WE DO COMBINE SHIPMENTS. I generally email within 24 hours after the auctions end.
