    Owens-Illinois Graduated Measure

    Circa: 1960s?
    Sixe: 16 oz

    This is a cool graduated measure that we picked up as part of an apothecary lot. The measure is in great shape and all the gold is in perfect condition. Looks very fancy for a measure. The bottom is not marked. I will provide a link to another example that shows the name was stamped on originally.

    YOUNG PRODIGY
    At the age of ten, Michael J. Owens, after whom the company was named, entered the glass industry. At the time, all glass bottles were made by skilled glassblowers with the help of young boys shoveling coal, moving the molds, and helping with other tasks.

    FROM BOTTLE TO GLASS
    Owens-Illinois Inc. began as the Owens Bottle Machine Company. In 1929, the Owens Bottle Company merged with Illinois Glass Company to become Owens-Illinois, Inc.
