Most Goofus Glass dates from the period of about ten to fifteen years around the turn of the last century, (1897 to around 1912) although it continued to be produced into the 1920s. ... It went out of fashion when Carnival Glass became very popular (from 1908 onwards). http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/goofusglass.html
