dating to the 1890s. The feeder is made from aqua glass and is a little under 4.5 inches tall. There is a sunburst pattern on the rear of the feeder. The top is sheared as is the circular opening. The feeder was made like this.   embossed with the Hendryx name.  That style came in clear glass and also in milk glass.  The opening is ground.  These feeders were very inexpensive when they were new.  My 1935 Hendryx Catalog lists the clear (crystal or flint glass) for seventy cents and the milk glass (opal) for seventy-five cents, PER DOZEN!!  Of course that was the price to the dealer, not to the public.  The milk glass ones must have been more popular even though they were more expensive, as the clear ones are much less common.   Blown in a mold with a delightful twisted knob applied on top, this item has a rough scarred pontil on the base. With the simple geometric lines on the sides, it is reminiscent of the blown three mold items of the mid 1800's. There are no mold marks remaining - likely fire polished out. The opening on the side is rough ground. This is in very clear flint glass. This piece is 4.5" tall.
