What a great looking glass bird. I believe I’ve seen these before in one of my family member’s house. Hadn’t thought about them since and pretty sure they don’t have them anymore. What a great piece. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Dave! Thank you for the comment. I discovered that I misspoke — er, what is the 21st-century word? “misblogged”? — when I stated that the Bluebird of Happiness was Fostoria Glass. The logo molded into the body of the glass bird is small and quite blurred, but I realize now that the bird is Fenton glass, a product of the Fenton Art Glass Company. I have edited the post, and hope that you like Fenton glass as much or more than your affinity for Fostoria glass. — Leo

Thanks for this ‘Bluebird of Happiness’ postcard – I’m happy to know these birds will be winging to my mailbox soon. This postcard has a lot going for it, in addition to the colorful birds, perhaps not the least of which is the Rochester connection! Here’s a link to Stecher letterheads by eBay seller dalebooks: http://cgi.ebay.com/1905-Stecher-Lithograph-Co-Rochester-NY-Letterhead-LOT-/300518583087 Lots of info here! Thanks again!

I have a thing for glass, and this is no exception. Beautiful cobalt blue, and Fostoria to boot.

Thank you for your comment, Vickie. You didn’t mention if the print or picture is framed. If it is, then perhaps there is a date that is hidden by the frame or backing. You may be able to estimate a probable date range simply by comparing the shoe style on your item with footwear styles through time. Perhaps take the item to a local antique store or bring it with you to an antique paper and ephemera show when one comes to your area. Someone who is knowledgeable about prints and pictures might be able to give you more information. — Leo

Excellent site! I have added it to my blogroll, and also edited this post to memorialize the occasion. (See the section that discusses the Barton and Spooner “I SHOULD WORRY And lose my Patients like a Doctor” vintage postcard. Welcome! — Leo
