plastic yellow covered clear patterned glass mustard bowl with spoon

plastic yellow covered clear patterned glass mustard bowl with spoon dimensions are 2 3/4" top diameter, 2 1/4" bottom diameter, 3" height. The spoon says E.L.C. or E.R.C. Ltd. Aural Stainless. The spoon is 4" long. I would like help with company, pattern and era. Thank you for your assistance in this request. Rob

 

Depression era.
I don't think a regular pattern, but I might be wrong. Also made in a sugar pourer with a red lid.

It's going to be someone like Hazel Atlas, Federal, Jeanette, or Hocking. I don't think I've ever found the maker. If I did, I've forgotten.

 

found a couple mentioning Medco and showing this as a sugar

Just as a suggestion for reselling, those Medco bowls with the metal flip lids sell nicely. I have had a few over the years and depending on condition, people love to own them. If you find a pink one, you are golden.

 

Thank you for the help. Rob

 

Thank you for the help and the tip. I will keep that in mind. Rob

 

Thank you for the help. Rob

 

See one person says 1950s. That might be more correct than Depression era.

@TallCakes
I've never heard of Medco glass. Tried to do a search for history of Medco glass and can't pull up anything.

Do you have any info?

 

Cluttered I don't know if this would be any info you would be interested in but figured I would pass it along

@pearlsnblume
Thank you.
Doesn't say what time period. Although those look more 50s.

 

I think the 50's 60's mostly. Just my 2 cents.

 

There are a lot of patents online for a man named Harry C. Gessler of Brooklyn, NY. He patented several glass receptacles, and also their lids. The patents seem to range from the 1930s-1950s. Some of the patents say he is "Harry C. Gessler, Brooklyn, N. Y., assignor to Medco Products Co., Inc., North Bergen, N. J., a corporation of New Jersey." Here is one from 1950 and I've also found some like that from the 1940s. Some of the earlier patents don't mention Medco, just Gessler.

I think I have or had sugar bowls with the name Gessler on it.
