akronmarbles Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Blown glass egg from the S.C. Dyke & Co. James Harvey Leighton helped get their glass marble making division started in November 1890. This was also the first factory where JH Leighton made glass marbles in the US. This piece may have even been made by Leighton as there were no glass blowers in Akron that I am aware of prior to this shop starting operations. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hollow and has a hole on one end. If I run across it soon I will snap a few more views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
