* Moon and Star pattern

Various glass factories made pieces in the ever-popular Moon and Star pattern, and L E Smith also got in its appeal. In the 1960s Island Mould Company made some Moon and Star moulds and leased them to L E Smith. Most of Smith's Moon and Star pieces are not marked, but there are some (hard to find) that have the Smith mark (a letter S with a G in the top part of the S and a C in the bottom part of the S).
