1 Just how sturdy was driven home to me when I was visiting a couple in Lethbridge who made the point by nonchalantly knocking a piece of hotel china off the kitchen counter. It hit the linoleum floor, bounced a couple of times, but there was no damage. He did this to make the point that short of a direct hit the restaurant china would stand up to almost any abuse. And the piece that was dropped was one of the Mountain Trails pieces that was selling for $75.00 to $100.00 at the time!

21 The one vase not seen with this stamp was the No. 104, and I can only presume that because this vase was available as earlier as 1922, it was regularly being made in moulds.
