Liberty Bell Match Holder - Centennial Glass
The Liberty Bell pattern was produced by Gillinder & Sons for the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial. This is an undocumented piece of the pattern. It may be a hanging match holder. Note that the wrought iron hanger can be removed and the glass base has protrusions on either side of the rim. There are cut outs on the hangar for the protrusions, and you can fit the hangar so that it "catches" against the protrusions. The neck of the rim is not threaded. One side reads "Proclaim Liberty Throughout the Land" and below that "1876". Near the bottom of the other side it reads "1776." The piece measures 2 ½" d across the base and 2 ¼" h to the top of the opening. There may have been another piece (I know not what) of this, as looking down into the top it looks "unfinished" which is unlike Gillinder products. There is some rust on the wrought iron hangar. The glass is in excellent condition. (#5451)
