    This is a "Noxzema" cobalt blue glass jar - estimated 1950's - no lid
    It is 3" tall and 3 1/4" in diameter - straight bottom logo / jar mold #7
    Although not marked, probably made by Maryland Glass Company.
    ** Noxzema was invented in 1914 by Francis Townsend in Ocean City, MD The formula was referred to commonly as "no-eczema". Dr. Townsend prescribed it as a remedy to early resort vacationers burned by the sun. Demand for the product grew as the years progressed and the product achieved national popularity by the 1940's through the use of radio and print advertising. Noxzema contains camphor, menthol, phenol and eucalyptus, among other ingredients, and was popular among women as a facial cleanser and make-up remover in addition to sunburn treatment.

      I remember finding one when I dug up bottles. Highly desirable as the cobalt blue is magnificent on these older ones !~
