Any vintage/antique glass experts? Need help identifying carousel horses

[Claudia1]

I have been scouring the internet and emailing glass companies, attempting to identify this set of 6 colored pressed glass carousel horses. The set is 6 colored horses, in a frosted type of glass, with an "H" in the design on one side of the base. They are 4.5" tall, 3.75" wide, and are on a glass base of an irregular shape. The colors are blue, clear, yellow, pale pink, light purple, and green. They are in mint condition without any chips, cracks, or breaks. I used them in my daughter's nursery, about 20 years ago, but cannot remember when or where I purchased them.

Can anyone help me? Is there someplace on the internet to ask an expert? Thanks!

Do you frequent flea markets or auctions? Could these be a purchase from there?

Also, aside from the 'H' are there any other markings?

I don't usually visit flea markets but have occasionally visited some antique stops. I'm not really into antiques, so I don't make it a habit to shop for them.

I can't see any other markings on them. I lived in Greencastle, Indiana when I purchased them and am thinking that they may be an Indiana glass. They are quite eye-catching when the light catches them.

In the mid 1930's there was a glass maker in Muncie, Indiana called Hemingray Glass Company. There common mark is an H in a circle or diamond, or just an H. Although the time frame doesn't fit if you bought them new, but you could have picked them up elsewhere.

Also, I would recommend you take them to a local antique dealer. Any reputable dealer should be able to tell you if they are worth anything. I certainly wouldn't part with them for the first quote given, but it could give you an idea.
