The Owens-Illinois Glass Company was formed in 1929 through the merger of the Owens Bottle Company (previously Toledo Glass Company that was established in 1896) and the Illinois Glass Company that formed in 1873. In spite of the Depression that started in the same year as their merger, the newly formed firm seemed to fare well, but I guess glass containers are always needed no matter what the economy is doing. This 4 ¼” tall shaker is made in a diagonal ribbed pattern of green glass. On the front of the 2 1/8” square jar is a plain rectangular spot where a paper label could be placed to indicate what spice or seasoning was in the shaker. These jars were probably made to fit in manufactured, free-standing kitchen cabinets like Hoosiers and other brands. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or flea bites. The aluminum lid does have some dents, nicks, and scratches, but that isn’t unexpected with a metal as soft as aluminum. It is marked on the bottom with the original Owens-Illinois logo. There are numbers on both the right and left side and below the logo but I cannot tell for sure what they are. There is wear on the bottom from years of use.

This would be a wonderful addition to your Depression glass collection or to use every day in your kitchen. Please contact us if you have any questions.
