Philco glasses or not?
#6

I believe the glasses with the silver band around the rim are (or may be) Dorothy Thorpe glasses, not Radiobar. They certainly look like Dorothy Thorpe glasses.

Google "Dorothy Thorpe" for more info. She was a designer of glassware, and her work spanned the period from the 1930s through the 1950s. 1950s Dorothy Thorpe glassware is popular among the Mid Century Modern aficionados...which is the only reason I know about them. Her glassware was also shown on Mad Men, which has also increased their popularity.
