Grape and Cable Reissues, Fenton and Mosser | |
Fenton used the base of the Northwood Grape and Cable humidor to make a variety of shapes. In addition to ruffled bowls there are handled baskets, spittoons, humidors, and vases.

In 1969, Rose Presznick, a collector and early author of books on Carnival, had Fenton make complete humidors in amethyst. They are marked with the Fenton logo and words about Presznick's Carnival Glass Museum on both the lid and base. Fenton has also reissued the humidor in a number of contemporary colors including ruby (1995-67), petal pink, blue (400 made in 1992), green for Levay, Faverene (2003), and the spruce green shown here.

Apparently Mosser has come into possession of the original Northwood Grape and Cable cracker jar mold. As best I can tell, these are identical to the original. I've seen a couple of these in the iridized vaseline glass (that Mosser calls marigold) shown here. They're worth $30 to $40.
