Looks like it was made by Illinois Glass Comapny 1919-1929.

What part of Deleware are you in?

Looks like maybe some aluminum paint that got hard.

Funny how I missed the portion of the O. My eyes are failing me I reckon. Stinks to get old.

Looks like Testors aluminum paint from my childhood, 70 years ago.

Thanks everyone. Now, if only i could find something really great. One thing i learned - if you are hellbent on discovery and moving fast, digging can be great exercise!
