FOUR - PIECE MILK GLASS CASTER SET (CASTER SET) MADE IN THE US DURING THE 1880'S BY EAGLE GLASS COMPANY
This beautiful set replaced the salt sellers of the early and middle 1800's. This type of set was advertised by Dithridge as early as 1894 in CHINA GLASS & LAMPS. In this page advertisement, Dithridge boasted that they have the largest line of Opal Glass (Milk Glass) Salts, Peppers, Molasses Cans, Caster Sets, and Tooth Pick Holders,
In 1898 Eagle Glass & Manufacturing Co. in a full page add showed pictured a group of their new products. One of the new sets was this style of 4 piece Caster Set, but in a different pattern. It was the exact shape of the tray and three bottles w/ lids, as shown in these pictures. With this proof in CHINA, GLASS & LAMP, JANUARY 26, 1809, we know that Eagle Glass company made this set.
THE ENTIRE SET IS IN MINT CONDITION. After 142 years we can not expect
everything
to be this perfect. A beautiful part of this set is the center of the tray. There is a plain, but beautiful metal handle in the center of the base. This is an excellent quality piece. The total weigh for this set is 1 lb, 5 ozs. The base is 14 ozs., the blue pepper is 2 oz., the white salt is 2.5 ozs., and the Molasses is 2.4 ozs.
