L.E. SMITH NO. 209 COVERED FISH L.E. Smith Company Covered Fish is a reproduction of L.G. Wright Fish Covered Candy Box # 70-4 (1958-'61). L.E. Smith acquired the mold at the final Wright auction in 1999. L.E. Smith produced the Fish between (1999- 2007). Smith produced this Fish in several colors for Martha Stewart's company, Martha by Mail (1999-2001). Because the Smith Fish is often found without a label, it is impossible to tell the difference between Wright and Smith Amber Fish. Neither would be marked and both used same mold. NOTE: If you find an Amber Fish in a shade that looks different, it may be the original Fish Dish, ca. 1885. The original came in "A.B.C." --or-- Amber, Blue, and Canary. L.E. Smith Blue is a different shade, but Amber will need a bit more study. Only when they are side by side can you see mold differences. QUICK ID TIP: ONLY L.G. Wright produced the Fish in White Milk Glass. L.E. Smith Covered Fish is unmarked. May still have original label on the base that reads HANDMADE LE Smith Glass IN THE USA. 8 1/2" long.
