Even after Morgantown technically "lost the account" to Imperial, they continued making them for Imperial to ship to Trader Vic's. Very complicated, but explained in some detail in "A Handbook of Old Morgantown Glass" by Jerry Gallagher. The stems came in three forms, with plain or optic bowls. "A Handbook of Old Morgantown Glass" is OOP but widely available through libraries or can be purchased on the secondary market for @ $50. http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookDetails?bi=143262520&AID=7134924&PID=1184861
