    Would appreciate any help in identifying the attached syrup dispenser. It has absolutely no markings and I have researched the books I have with no luck and also contacted a fellow collector to no avail. Hoping someone is of the age where they might recall seeing one of the same? Thanks in advance.

    Actually I think it is an orange syrup dispenser.
    Look at the glass (sorry I'm tired, so I'm probably using the wrong words)

    1. is the outside orange peel
    2. is the inside section
    3. is the peel cut and pulled back from the section.

    From everything I was looking at on line, there were numerous different orange syrups. Wards, Mission Orange, Orange Crush, So.Cas.Soda., Orangeade, etc.

    The jadite looks different.
    I'm wondering if this might be English in origin.

    Good eyes, Clutter! I've looked at this a good 1/2 dozen times trying to figure out the pattern/design of the tank/holder with no luck. You are no doubt right. There are several glass orange syrup dispensers online having an orange design shape. Most of them have advertisements on them. Here is an example. It has a glass whole unpeeled orange textured globe/tank with advertisements on the black glass base.

    I wonder if this dispenser once had something like stickers across the flat rectangular shape on the base behind the spout/facet.

    Have included a pic of the whole dispenser for those viewing on phones, etc... I have taken the liberty resizing it so won't be tooooo big for a message. It was originally
    Dimensional-wise: 768px wide X 1024px high
    Now: 361px wide X 550px high

    Thank you all for the replies. I knew, despite all of Milt's instructions, that I would screw up the pic sizing. Sorry for that. I appreciate the input and will continue to follow up. I have looked at 1000's of images, stumped several collectors of soda fountain items and just haven't found anything with the jadiete glass base, nor the top design for that matter. Clearly a label was on the base....just have to figure out which one. Again....thanks. Gary

    Just a thought,but after looking at quite a few dispensers Im wondering if this base originally went with something else and they "married" it? The ones you see online seem to have much wider bases.

    I believe it to be original to the top. The base itself actually appears to be a tree with and log cuts showing the rings...very tough to capture in a pic.
