Vintage 1981 Mosser Glass Josh Bottom Marked 81 by Vi Hunter

No chips or cracks.

Vi Hunter of Akron, Ohio had the idea to have her own doll figure produced and so she had the Jenny mold created. The Jenny figure measures about 4 1/4” tall and is solid. Since she did not own a glass factory, she contracted Mosser Glass in Cambridge, Ohio to press a variety of colors for her and she would do her own promotions, sales, shipping, etc. She debuted the first three Jenny colors at the Victim Assistance Annual Antique Show and Sale in Akron, Ohio on March 18th, 1979.

Mosser Glass produces high quality glass and is adept at producing many interesting and beautiful colors. They made one color each month of the new Jenny mold for Hunter with a total of twelve for 1979 plus an annual bell. Each was marked with an “H” on the lower part of her skirt on the back side. The 1979 series were not dated on the underside but the three subsequent years were dated.

In 1981, a boy counterpart was introduced called Josh and is marked with the H logo near the bottom on its back right side and the year is pressed into the center of the bottom. In 1981 and 1982, each color made in the Jenny mold was also produced in the Josh mold.
