   One interesting fact stated by Mr. Fenton is that Robert Barber never made any of these eggs. Barber was the man with the design for them, however, all of these lovely eggs were made by only two men - Delmer Stowasser and Dave Fetty. Here are the production numbers and colors used to identify the Barber eggs provided by Frank Fenton, with the predominate color used for identification being the first:

5001EG - Opaque Pink / Blue / Black
5002EG - Dark Blue / White / Black
5004EG - Copper Blue / White / Black
5005EG - Dark Orange / White / Blue
5007EG - Yellow Green / Black
5008EG - White / Orange / Blue / Black (Multicolor)

 
   As you may or may not have noticed, there are a couple of numbers missing in the series, 5003EG and 5006EG. As Frank explains it, "No. 5003EG was brown, but didn't make it to the line. No. 5006EG was Ruby, and was recorded as being in the line but was not illustrated or on the price list". He also notes that many different "One-of-a-kind" Barber eggs are floating around or in someone's treasured collection, noted as "Lunch Box" specials that were made but too expensive to use for the regular line. The egg shown on the left is a good example, and confirms it is a Robert Barber piece as it's very similar in color and style to his No. 0009 Labyrinth vase.
