Depression Glass--is McKee always marked?

[Deleted]

I have a custard glass Deco pepper shaker.  I keep seeing it on ebay as McKee Roman Arches for about $20.

Mine looks exactly like theirs but there's no mark on the base.  I'd hate to sell a fake.  All it says is PATPEND on the base.

Just asking here in case anyone knows offhand.  I may have a book on Depression glass if I can find it!

According to this guide they weren't:

www.ebay.com/gds/McKee-Roman-Arch-Range-Shakers-History-Tips-Cautions-/10000000000042807/g.html

Some of the earliest set's were marked "Patent Applied For" on the bottom. Other sets from the 20's, 30's and 40's simply had a large circle on the bottom. The familiar "McK" mark or parts of it can sometimes be seen in the center within its own circle.

I used to work at Jeannette Glass and pick up items that I recognize, but most of them don't have markings.

Good info Ahrn!

ahrncitygal, THANK YOU so much. I tried google and couldn't find much info and I simply cannot locate my Depression Glass book!
But from that link that you provided, I definitely have the real thing. I love it but I bought it to sell, not to keep.

Now I can take the pictures and get it listed. Again, many thanks.
