Gloria N. Greenwald Antiques & Folk Art
We have been dealing in early 18th & 19th century country antiques and folk art since 1989. The major Americana antique shows of the Northeast were a focus for many years. Having retired from the show circuit in 2006, we now concentrate on selling privately and online. We deal primarily in country smalls including painted boxes and bowls, lighting, iron and tinware, and baskets. We look for makers who understood form and function, even when handcrafting rather primitive objects. Our preference is for pieces that please the eye AND perform a function.
These two antique blown storage jars date from 1880-1930. Seamless with the presence of scared pontil marks. The presence of such a scar indicates that a glass jar/bottle was blown freehand. The tin lids with loop lifters were in use up until 1930 when screw top lids replaced them. Slight wear around the rim tops from use otherwise in good condition, clean with no stains. 5"h x 3/14" tops x 4 1/2" base. We offer a layaway plan. We offer a layaway plan.

Orig MICA Lenses c 1940. This is a most unusual lantern. It was distributed by the Swiss Army - it was given as part of their "medicine bag". It was folded slipped into a pouch and put in the soldier's bag. It measures 7" H, 12" to the top of the handle and 3 1/2" wide. The candle was inserted through a clamp on the base. There is a flip up 'lid' on the top for the smoke to escape. Behind the candle is an oval metal reflector. Two unusual elements of this lantern are the MICA Lenses and the STAR CUTOUTS along the top edge of two sides. These lanterns were made for many years - this is one of the first ones. On the back is a sliding mini 'door'. The metal has a brown-ish stain. It's definitely a piece of history.
