Tucker in Carnival Glass

[CDB]

Here is a 1/64th scale model of a Tucker in beautiful blue/purple carnival glass which reflects a rainbow of colors. I found this model at a flea market in Sikeston, Mo., last weekend. The only hint I had as to the manufacturer is the imprint of the letter "B" found on the inside of the top of the model . Charles D. Barnette

Thanks TuckerCar I see that the model is a Boyd Art Glass example with the "B" standing for Boyd. The Tucker models came in different colors not repeated. Mine is "Colbalt Carnival" in color! I wonder if anyone in the club has the entire collection reflecting each of the colors offered? I also learned that the lines over and under the Diamond "B" shows the model was made in the 3rd five years of the Boyd Glass operation. Charles

Charles,

There are 62 of them on e-bay right now. Most of them are different in color. Hopefully you didn't
pay too much at the flea market. Over the last several years I've noticed different people sell off
what appears to be an entire collection so if you want all of them it's probably possible.

Boyd Glass of Cambridge OH makes them. The first of the series was released on 8/28/1989. Your
Colbalt Carnival was the 4th in the series. There have been 63 colors produced.

Thanks Tucker48, that means she was one of the first (number 4) ones released. When I found her she was under flourescent lighting in a locked case showing the colors of the rainbow. In short she was dazzling! Charles

I'm pretty sure Reggie Foote has the entire collection.
