ETCHING: FLAMINGO HABITAT (AKA) by Hobbs, Brockunier & Company/Wheeling-WV (Company Operated:1845-1888), 1880s Introduced

NOTE: No. 77 and No. 53 blanks were used. The scenes change from form to form but always have storks (not flamingos) and a bamboo and arch element that appears somewhere in the etching. The sole exception to this is the salver where the arch is not present, just the bamboo.
Ref. Etched Pattern Glass, Acid Etched Goblets and Tableware of the 1880s, pp 103-6
