Featured Northwood EAPG Royal Oak Rubina Syrup\Molasses Can

This Northwood (edited INH help) piece has a metal pour top that is missing its cover. It is an odd squarish shape with a cranberry and frosted interior. It is 4 inches tall and has a bottom that is 3 inches square. I can't figure out its purpose to research anything about it. It doesn't make sense as a creamer, as the cream would be exposed to the light. But I don't know what would be poured from a smallish container like this. I'm sure you all will know. Any help will be appreciated.

 

That’s interesting. I’ll try that. Thanks

 

You got it. As always sensational. So appreciated.

 

And the answer is syrup! Congratulations INH. Thank you.

 

Wrong shape - right top

Oooooooooooooh! 1880! Who would have guessed. Marvelous

 

Boy That's exciting. Not only is it my first piece of EAPG, it maybe be a rare one. The one on Worthpoint is clear and not frosted. I wonder if that makes a difference.

 

That would be terrific. It would be nice to know from and expert rather than sellers.

 

Fabulous. There it is. In all its glory. Syrup/molasses can. And the dates too! What a great link. Thank you so much.

 

Just a thought... Could it be for holding oil or paraffin in order to fill the glass reservoir of an oil lamp?

 

Salt Shaker?
