Special Comments:

Hobbs No. 346 came in an optic version or an opalescent version. See SSNO0626 for the Optic version.
Per Jasper Lee Castle: In the # 346 line, some moulds from the No. 331 line were used on certain pieces. U S Glass made both of these when Hobbs Glass Company joined U S Glass Company as Factory H and was a cost saver for them in using the same mold.
