This is looking so familiar. I'm hoping someone here can identify the pattern. Thanks!

Max, Can you be a little more specific?

What - No book and page reference for where someone can confirm you identification (smile)...
Just kidding, of course. You've always been very helpful to me - even if it's just pointing me over to the eBay boards when necessary...

Max40: After looking at this pattern in Replacements.com, I'm just not sure this is a hexagonal pattern on this plate! More like thumbprints all the way around. The light angle in the photo shows some hexagonal stuff, it's true, but in "real life" there isn't any of that, just oval shapes.
The hexagonal items I looked at are very distinctly that shape. What to do! (I'll probably list it as you suggest with a big question mark in the title.)

Your picture is deceiving. It really looked like a sharp edged pattern.
If the "thumbprints" are raised, look up Raindrops by Federal.
If the "thumbprints" are depressed it's Thumbprints also by Federal

Just a heads-up - that I'm sure you're already aware of...
If you use only that pic and someone believes it's one thing and when they get it - they think it's dramatically different - you're risking an unhappy buyers.
Also - you may miss someone who's really looking for what it is, but get thrown off by the photo.
If you include several pics, it may help show the pattern better - maybe even a close up of just a few of the thumbprint depressions?
Just a thought or two.

Thanks for the leads, Max. And I will not use this photo. It's hard to get a good picture of the plate, but I'll try hard. I'm dumbfounded that the photo seems to show sharp edges; must have been a trick of lighting or such.
I appreciate your help!

Max: Bingo! It's definitely Federal Raindrops (raised pattern). I see that some of the sellers of this glass pattern call it Vaseline glass and say it glows in black light. Do you know if all of this particular pattern would be the same??

It was a very short lived pattern, should glow. When I think of vasoline glass I think of a yellow glass. The term is way overused.
