Stems - Tally-Ho (pressed)
by Frank and Vicki Wollenhaupt
Issue 34 - February 1976
Since last month's column on the #1402 stem, I have had another thought brought to my attention. The 1402/100 can be found on the stem as in Figure #1 (January 1976, Crystal Ball). The #1402/150 and #1402/200 can be found on the Figure #2 stem. The only difference in the #1402/150 and #1402/2OO is the shape of the bowl.
This month's stem is the other #1402 (Tally-Ho) stem. This stem is the heavier of the two. On October 11, 1932, design Patent 87,932 was issued to W. C. McCartney. From the date of this patent we can determine that this was the first of the Tally-Ho stems. The patent was granted for a goblet or similar article.
In the October, 1932 issue of China, Glass and Lamps, the #1402/1 stem is shown with the Imperial Hunt Scene etching on it.
The 1930-1934 Cambridge Catalogue shows the stem in the following sizes: #1402/1 - 18 oz. goblet (etched Imperial Hunt Scene); #1402/2 - 14 oz. goblet (etched Catawba}; #1402/3 - 10 oz. goblet (R.C. engraved #690); #l402/4 - 10oz. lunch goblet; #1402/7 - 6oz. tall stem tomato or orange juice; 14O2/9 - 4½ oz. claret; #1402/10 - 4 oz. cocktail; #1402/13 - 1 oz. cordial; #1402/12 - 2½ oz. wine; #1402/8 - 5 oz. low stem tomato or orange juice; #1402/11 - 4 oz. low stem cocktail or oyster cocktail; #1402/6 - 6½ oz. low sherbet; #1402/5 - 7½ oz. tall sherbet and #1402/2O - 4½ oz. sherbet.
This stem has been found in Carmen, Amber, Crystal and Forest Green.
