A friend of mine has 8 of these small glasses; they belonged to her great-grandmother. Each glass is about 2 1/2 inches tall and has a diameter of 2 1/4 inches. The mark sort of looks like an elaborate cursive "L". Can anyone tell me anything about it and if the glasses are worth putting on eBay? Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Possible guess lol you know I don't know for sure...always wait on a expert
L (in cursive script)..........Libbey Glass, Inc., Toledo, OH (1888-to date). Seen frequently on the bases of various tableware items, especially tumblers and other drinking glasses. Mark (plain or within a circle) first used in 1955, according to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office listing, although the "cursive L" mark, if placed inside a 3-segmented circle, may date back to 1937.
