Lincoln Hwy Buy-Way Treasure: Square Cake Stand Made by Mosser

     Found in Iowa during the Lincoln Hwy Buy-Way Yard Sale  Two Beautiful Glass Square Cake Stands.  Square Cake Stands are usually very hard to find and usually very expensive when you do find them.  I found two at the same yard sale this weekend and got them for $20 for the pair.  See there is more than just junk at yard sales, this is a wonderful example of the treasures that you can find.
     This beautiful Cobalt Glass Square Cake Stand  10 1/2" wide by 6 1/2" tall, it is very heavy weighing 8 pounds.  This is a wonderful piece of handcrafted Mosser, made in the USA.  Mosser Glass has been in business for the past 30 years producing beautiful handcrafted products.

The other square cake stand is a lovely ruby red with a yellow-green Vaseline glass pedestal.  It has the same measurements but weighs about a pound less, it has a tag on it that says Made in Cambridge, OH which was home to many fine glass companies, however, I believe this cake stand is also made by Mosser.

     Indiana and West Virginia do not have an official website set up with any details, however, if you live near a town or city along the Lincoln Hwy contact the local chamber office or city hall to find out if your town participates.
     Be very careful, traffic is usually crazy and people are everywhere so you drivers have your work cut out for you!  Park if possible and take a cart or wagon, or anything on wheels that can be easily pushed or pulled.  I find this a lot less stressful than driving, stopping, driving, stopping, driving, stopping.  Have fun and let me know what kind of wonderful treasures you have found this year!
