Okay, so it's not super old, but it is an early machine made. The thing is I've not seen one like this before and so was hoping to get a little input...It's thinner then the typical milk glass jars and maybe lower quality (some color striation in the glass)? Mold seams, screw cap. Stands at about 4½", with a base diameter of 1¾".
Thanks for looking

After all the different types I have dug thru the years I bet I would have at least a hundred varieties. Face cream finger jars dominate. Just as soon as you think you have seen them all, another pops up, like yours, I never seen that one. Often they come out with aluminum caps in fair shape. I wish I had kept every type of milk glass I ever dug, just for a the stupendous varieties involved, you could never get one of every type. Orange or even blueish striations are typical in thinner sections. That is a cool little milk glass jar, I certainly would not leave it in the dump.

Exactly what I was thinking when I picked it up.
