Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Does anyone have any knowledge of an "official" Packard bud vase accessory available in the 1920s, '30s, '40s?

You can see them listed in the 1929 Accessory List. Right hand column about 2/3 down, "Cut glass vases", PA 2205 at $8.50 each. Picture on page 20.

Thanks Dave
I just purchased this beautiful set for my 1940. I was told they came out of a 1933 Packard. Now that you've identified that vases were pictured in an accessory catalog, I'll go through the Packard files at the AACA Library when I'm there in a couple of months.
I have the 1930 and 1931-32 accessory catalogs, and there aren't any vases listed.

Approximately how tall are the vases?? Is the glass part all one piece or is there a removeable glass top????

They are 7.25 inches tall, 2.25 inches at the widest point. Single piece of glass. I don't know why the photo shows them to be yellow. They are quite clear.
Also, the holding bands are flat in the inside, but convex on the outside. Unlike the reproduction bands I've seen on eBay where the bands are flat on both sides.
