Circa: 1942
Manufacturer: Paden City
Paden City Glass produced this unique amber powder jar in the shape of a Military Hat circa 1942. There were three different models of this Military Hat glass powder jar, this one is the stippled visor with the crown having encircling lines along with the lids middle also having encircling lines. The bottom also has a center front and two side spread eagle insignias. This is the 5 inch version of the Military Hat Powder Jar and it is in good used condition. It is approximately 2.25 inches tall, the bottom base not including the visor is approximately 3.50 inches in diameter, the top rim is approximately 4.50 inches in diameter and the lid is approximately 4.81 inches in diameter, and the length including the visor is 5.00 inches long. The glass is very clear, and it appears that it was never used as a powder jar and was a display piece as the inside is as clean as a whistle and there is little to no wear on the bottom. There are some rough mold lines that you can feel some rough spots that were never fired down on the hat and lids. On the visor where it meets the table, there is a small pin point nick, and on the middle mold line on top of the visor there is defect, but because of the stippling, we can’t tell if there is a small flat chip, or if the glass got touched while still cooling. Because of the stippling and the size of the defect, the camera will not focus on it. There are a couple of small inclusion bubbles that is common in glass of this era, and the lid does not fit tight, it has a wobble to it. We believe in disclosing every little detail of the item, since you are not able to see and feel it for yourself. With all that said, this is a very unique shape and intriguing glass powder jar. |
