Glass Molded Frogs

Hemingray frogs were made in the 1930's by workers during down time at the factory. The original ones come in ice blue and 7 Up-green. When Hemingray/Owens-Illinois closed its doors an employee of the plant got to take the mold. The mold has been used to reproduce these frogs. Thanks to Jim and Earl for sharing these pieces with me.

The ice blue one pictured on this page is a original. The other are later productions.

Most likely this jar was used for photographic development, as Peter Smith (P Smith is embossed on the jar) has patents for Photographic related process
