Replacements.com has gotten back to me with the pattern info about this glass. I was hoping for a clever pattern name, and this is kind of boring — but it’s the answer.
This Federal Glass is pattern code FEG61 and known as pink blue yellow decal swirl.
It is interesting to learn that the embellishments on my 8 glasses are decals. Mine are outstanding. Must have never seen a dishwasher. I have to keep that in mind in the future when I find Federal glassware with patterns.
Many thanks again to all of you who scoured your reference books and the internet to try to help me and all the other folks who have questions. Kudos to each and every one of you.

Zengirl, isn’t this just a code and description assigned to this pattern by replacements.com?

Of course, you are right, TimeSpan. Does anyone know how to get ahold of Federal Glass Company archives?

Zengirl, the number that Replacements gave you is just their own identification number. When they can’t determine the name of a pattern, they create a name/number for their computer system. If you plan to list these glasses for sale, keep in mind that a potential buyer will not be looking for that number. So when putting a name in your listing, be sure to put in the description. Something like, "Federal Glass tumblers, pink blue yellow decals, circa 1970’s (or 1950’s, or 1960’s, etc.)
Good luck!

Replacements does assign their own numbers, but manufacturers also have unnamed patterns.
For instance, I have several tea cup and saucer sets that are identified only by gold numbers on the bottom of the pieces. When I look them up on Replacements, they are also listed by those numbers, below all the ‘named’ patterns. So, sometimes the number is a combination of both.
