ARTIFACT, GLASS FLOWER HOLDER????

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

..Dug this today; THE WOMAN thinks it is a flower holder that fit inside a vase. Interesting how the side shot shows how the holes expand inside the glass at the bottom.

Just noticed it say "Cambridge", and also has 3 1/2 (which is the widest point in inches)

Modified: Getting some feedback on the web that the date could be 1900-1910; still checking.

Nice Finds sherman!! Its a flower frog. My mom collectes them, they were used up untill the 30's or 40's i think... The clear ones are worth like 4-10 bucks depending on where you go, but yours is alil bit better since it was ment to fit in a vase. The reason it was in the dump is probably cause the vase broke

Jake,
your right. THE WOMAN says it is called a frog. Doing some searching on net and may be from early 1900"s, which

would date my small new dump a bit earlier than I thought.

have a good un.............
