Found this little beauty on Monday, digging at a bottle dump. According to my five minutes of research, not a very old item (1940's) but cute nonetheless. I had a feeling it was an Akro product as soon as it pulled it from the ground, with the distinctive swirling like the car ashtrays we've seen so many times on eBay trying to be passed off as insulators. It looks to be the smaller of the two sizes I saw examples of; it's 2.5" tall by 3" across the opening, and kind of a light green milkglass with orange streaks throughout.
