In Excellent Condition.

Marked "Imperial Cube" on the top of the lid.

Made by the Imperial Glass Company, est. circa 1940 or earlier.

Mold formed with polished seams (not visible). 

Has a manganese mineral content used in early glass.  Manganese causes glass to turn purple when exposed to sunlight.  This jar has just a hint of purple, has not been exposed to much light. Manganese glass will glow green or yellow when exposed to black light (see image #4).  This is not vaseline glass, vaseline glass has a core color of green/yellow.  This jar does not have a green or yellow tint.

Appears to be a retail counter jar of some kind.  We've put cigars inside, but unsure what the actual use was.

7" Tall, 6.5" Base

Heavy Bottom Wear
