Westmoreland "Humphrey" Camel

This two-humped camel produced by Westmoreland Glass in the 1930's is called "Humphrey" by collectors. This camel is 6.25" long by 5.5" high. It was originally made during the 1930's in milk glass. Production of this color continued for many years. In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Westmoreland produced this camel in blue carnival, emerald green carnival, turquoise carnival, lilac and lilac satin, green satin, yellow satin, antique blue (blue milk glass) and milk. Satin colors were called "mist" by Westmoreland. Many of these later colors were limited production issues and are not easily found today. These later issues were marked on the inside of the lid with the Westmoreland trademark - a "G" superimposed over a "W." Camels made in the 1930's do not have this trademark. After Westmoreland closed in 1985, the mold was obtained by Summit Art Glass of Ravenna, Ohio. These Summit Glass issues still bear the Westmoreland mark and have been made in many opaque, transparent and iridized colors. Chocolate, cobalt, pink iridescent, milk, mother-of-pearl, vaseline, light green milk pink satin and Royal Plum Carnival are among the new colors.
