    Hi All,
    Is this a mini spittoon? It stands 1 3/4"H. In the glass on the base is a line/crack, would this have occurred during production? I can't feel it, it is inside the glass. Any ideas on maker? The glass is yellow
    Any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    I've found some being called toothpick holders. This one says:

    " Canary Color Vaseline Glass Toothpick Holder in the "SPITTOON" pattern that was made by an Unknown Maker in the Early 1900's. The holder fluoresces a beautiful all-over green color when placed under a black light. It has a ground smooth and polished base ring, a protruding horizontal rib around the middle, and a recessed starburst design in the base. A photo and description of this piece can be found on Page 233, in a reference book titled "Glass Toothpick Holders, Second Edition"
