Cox & Lafferty ad, March 16, 1911

 
In "Sell me some Imperial Glass!", we show a series of contemporary adverts for Imperial Carnival Glass from 1910-1911, by which time, Carnival was clearly well established in production. The ads were placed by Cox & Lafferty, a New York Representative for Imperial, but the selections were being made up and despatched directly from the factory.

Here is the ad from March 1911 shown full size so that the detail can be seen clearly.

All these items are Imperial Grape. Despite the use of "red iridescent", the items are all marigold. The use of "red" here is consistent with
the way Imperial advertised their Rubigold/marigold - and, lo and behold, all the product/colour codes in the ad are M (Rubigold/marigold), not red.
