So my cousin unfortunately is having her house forclosed on and she and her family are slowly packing up and today i was over helping with fragile (which should have been watch slicey try not to break things (i succeded!!!!)).
its sad but they found a house thats larger for rent in the area for less than their mortgage was.

afterwords my mom is low on book so we run by goodwill.
i get bored in three seconds (i have like 13 books to read so looking for new books doesnt excite me) so i wonder in the furnishing sections to look at chairs (we are thinking of getting rid of a rancid computer chair and a broken lounger.) and i find a beautiful cigar box (which would have cost 19 dollars at leas if i bought it online) a interesting heavy glass jug that is pressed glass but really thick and i like the fruit design along the side. i was going to buy them myself but my mom ought them for me.
then she gave my cigar box to my sister!!! so not cool
so i just sigh know my sister would love the box anyways so ill just look for a new one next time. (the next time i get paid by my aunt im going goodwill hunting)
so i turn to my jug and start cleaning off the tags and sch from the jug.
and on the bottom i find a makers mark.

it has a really clean edges and a number below so i decide to look up the mark

.... i cant find it anywhere on the internet and the on site that might have it is down.... the best site i found said it only showed the big ones and to find the uniques you would have to go to the library to go through catalogs.

so since i want to know what it is i have to go

if your wondering what the mark looks like i did a quick paint drawing of it.

If you post pictures (or links to pics on Photobucket), I can repost them on the Glass discussion board on ebay; there are a lot of knowledgeable peeps over there.

It's a joke. The Cyrillic for "USSR" is "CCCP".
