Heisey’s #1252 Twist
By George Schamel
The Twist Pattern has 72 or more pieces. Most of
these pieces were produced in Crystal, Moongleam,
Flamingo, and Marigold. A few pieces were made in
Sahara and Alexandrite, even less multi-colored,
Dawn, and Tangerine. Twist is the only Heisey pattern to have most of the line produced in Marigold.
Twist was also produced in Moongleam before the
color formula was stabilized, thus it is possible to
find it in different shades of green. In the June, 1933
price list, Flamingo and Moongleam items have the
same price as Crystal items. Sahara items were
about 20% more, and Alexandrite items more than
twice as expensive as Crystal.
There are some discrepancies about the production
years of Twist, as with much of the printed information about glass in general. Clarence Vogel indicates
1924-32, Neila Bredehoft - (Color Book) 1928-37,
and Walter Ludwig - (Heisey News) says 1928-38.
Some of the above are based upon patent dates, three
printed catalogues, and price lists. At least one piece
(the 4-1/2” nappy) was produced until the Heisey
factory closed in 1957, and later by Imperial Glass.
Mr. Vogel named the pattern when he published his
color book in 1970. Unlike many names of glass
patterns, this name fits. Flat panels twisted from bottom to top. This pattern is in the moulds and not
twisted by hand. Many of the pieces were worked by
hand after being pressed, particularly the rolled edge
bowls. Twist bares a striking resemblance to the
Octagon pattern. Many of the pieces share the same
style handles and the same number of panels. The
glass is of moderate weight, heavier than Empress
and lighter than Ipswich. Twist has been used for silver overlay, etchings, and cuttings. These are not
easily found.
It is possible to collect a full set of this pattern, that
is, enough to set a table with nothing but Twist. Most
of the stemware is easily identified by the pyramid
stems. The few lids have square, stepped finials with
flat tops. An exception is the #1253 three cornered
mint, which has a pointed top.
HCA does not have all the moulds for this line.
They do have 11 or 12 moulds, the most important of
which is the Cocktail Shaker. The other moulds
were probably gotten rid of by the A. H. Heisey
Company some time in the past.
For additional information on Twist, check out the
articles by Walter Ludwig in the Heisey News, volume 29 (2000), issues 6-11.
The following is a price list from September, 1929.
All prices are per dozen, and in Crystal, Flamingo,
and Moongleam. Order now before prices rise!

NOVEMBER MEETING
Message from the Prez
Because it was a holiday, or maybe it was the
weather, our October meeting was attended by only
13 club members. What a shame. George Schamel
loaded three 6 foot tables with Moongleam Twist!
There was an example of almost everything in the
Twist line, and George gave a wonderfully informative presentation.
Monday, November 13 - 7:00 P.M.
Potomac Community Library
10101 Glenolden Drive
Potomac, MD
PROGRAM
Please bring Examples
Whatzits & Finds/Fakes
We did have a new member, Cindy Silverblatt,
attend for the first time. Knobby Ross signed up 2
new members, Mary Bruch and Martha Kestermeir
(twin sisters) from Hamilton, VA. We hope you get
a chance to make a few of our meetings. The club
would like to meet you.

for the 2001 All Heisey Show and Sale are cruising
along as expected, and we have already received a
couple of contracts back.

Thank you to everyone who loaned me their
Heisey advertisements. I scanned them all in and
will have them back to you at the next meeting. I got
some great ads, but I’m still looking for more.
My father and I stopped by the Heisey Museum on
our way back from visiting family in Indiana. It was
my 3rd visit to the museum, and every time seems
more exciting than the last. I saw the Maloney Bar
Bottle with the Scotch Carving (the same one I
brought to our Finds of the Summer meeting) and
guess what? It was donated by our club! They must
have purchased it with money we gave them for
glass acquisition. In the same case as the Scotch
Bottle was a Cobel Cocktail Shaker with a stylized
horse head cutting. It was the exact same as the
Cocktail Shaker my dad picked up in Chesterton, IN.
How exciting!
Thanks to everyone at the museum for putting up
with my foolishness. I practically had to be dragged
out of the place so that we could get home on time.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit the Heisey
Museum in Newark, OH, what are you waiting for?
The people are friendly and the displays and glass
are amazing.
See ya at the next meeting,
John Martinez
