Glass canister set???
« on: September 16, 2011, 08:54:30 am »
Can anyone give me any info on this set. What is it? Is it a complete set (the smallest one has holes like a s/p shaker)? What is it worth? Where would be a good place to sell it? I would appreciate any info you could give and Thanks in advance. Lacomo

Are there any markings on the bottom of the glass ?? Middle one is coffee and small one is probably a sugar shaker !! Large one could be flour !!Likely had two more as a complete set sugar and cornmeal !!

I couldn't get a good pic of the bottom, but here's the best I could do. I knew you couldn't read the wrighting so I put the numbers on.

     That is the mark of Owens - Illinois Glass Company.  This mark was used between 1929 - 1958

      Also the number on the left is the plant Code, the number on the Right is the date Code, the number on the bottom is the mold number.

I looked at a similar set in green on Worthpoint that listed the pieces as flour coffee and tea but was in great condition and was not a graduated set !! The small one was a sugar shaker !!   Couldn`t see what it sold for !! Value of your set in its condition would not be much maybe $20. Ebay is your best bet on selling it or a garage sale !!

Thanks guys for you help. I appreciate your very knowledgeable information.These were in some fruit jars that were given to me so I don't have anything in them, even if I get $20 for them it will all be profit. Thanks again...Lacomo

I think they are great and were they mine I would clean them up and use them !!  Check those fruit jars too for older ones !!
