| baylove ~ Dave, U.S. VICTORIA, US Glass,
15150, made in 1907, pop
nom Daisy and Scroll AKA Buzz Star in Parentheses. They retooled the
mold to remove the buzz star, either USG did it, or the molds got sold
to another company that did it, although there's no record of that. Tom
Bredehoft's book shows 2 tumblers, both with the buzz star and I've never seen a piece
w/o it, but there are pieces on record where the mold was retooled.

These tumblers are lacking the "buzz saw in parentheeses". They're " one little star in a blank space in parentheeses" ...
I did ebay searches in current and completed listings and googled and dogpiled but couldn't find any others like these.
My searches included "daisy scroll", "buzz star", "buzzstar" (allowing for typos), and "Victoria"

Some of the gold has flaked off but it is in overall decent condition.
It does have a bit of excess glass in the bottom inside of the tumbler, like Old Harvey had been drinking that day at the US Glass factory and got a little careless. It does not detract from it at all; I only discovered it while feeling around the glass for other problems.
No chips or cracks or any problems like that.
