ANTIQUE EAPG GREENSBURG GLASS ELEPHANT HEAD CONDIMENT SHAKER CASTOR ~ HOLDER!

Fabulous estate collection Early American Pattern Glass Greensburg Glass Company elephant head condiment castor or shaker holder, circa 1891. No actual shakers or condiment holders come with this castor...the openings measure in at 1 & 5/8" wide. Metal handle and attachment under the base bottom show general patina throughout...nothing unexpected for its age. No chips or hairlines. Sometimes referred to as the Jumbo castor, and seen in an early ad as the Stanley Castor, it has been attributed to Greensburg Glass Company which operated in East Greensburg, PA from 1890 to 1892 when it reorganized and became Greensburg Glass Company Ltd. In 1899 it joined National Glass Co., and became Factory #8 aka Greensburg Glass Works. Eventually in 1900 the factory was sold to Standard Glass Co. The company short lifespan does make it's items somewhat hard to come by for collectors...and this Victorian era aesthetic pattern is equally, if not more difficult to find. Handle for the castor measures in at 9 & 1/4" tall overall. Ask questions if you have them...will be carefully packed and shipped promptly upon confirmation of your payment.
