The promo text (top right) refers to pieces in this collection that "have never been done before by Fenton."

That is because Fenton was using several moulds they had bought from other glass companies which had gone out of business. We have identified the following pieces that were made from moulds acquired by Fenton, and their source:

Swan #4207 top and base are ex-Imperial moulds
Hobstar and Flower vase #4257 is an ex-Imperial mould. It was Imperial's Contemporary Four Seventy Four pattern.
Hobstar and Flower basket #4333 is an ex-Imperial mould. It was Imperial's old Four Seventy Four pattern. Fenton's basket is made from the tumbler mould with an applied handle added.
Stork and Rushes water set #5501 and tumbler #5511 - originally Classic era Dugan-Diamond moulds, bought by L G Wright and subsequently by Fenton.

The catalogue page shown here is courtesy of Frank Fenton, the Fenton Family and Fenton Art Glass Company.
