THE DeGRAFFT-PHILLIPS FLIP-TOP COLLECTION

UNIDENTIFIED GLASS
	5 3/4" x 4" Hand-painted black glass Lid is pewter with concentric circles No cutout for spoon Backstamp: I've been told the design was registered in 1891. (If anyone can tell us anything about this piece, please e-mail!)
	4 5/8" x 2 3/4" and 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" Jadeite: The color runs all the way through the bowls. Absolutely no markings. Below is a clear cousin that was tragically damaged beyond repair en route, so there is no better photo available:
	6" x 3 3/4" No cutout for spoon. No identifying marks. Lid is pewter.
	Two photos: 8" x 4". Top is pewter. No markings. This is an incredible bowl from a southern plantation home.It has a great pattern and is very heavy! No knob, no cutout for spoon.

	Three photos of this one: 9 1/2 " x 4 1/4 ". Top is pewter. No markings. No knob, no cutout for spoon. It has a glass partition separating the two sides (bottom photo).


	8 1/2" x 4 3/4" Unmarked, no cutout for spoon These are always described generically on eBay as EAPG (Early American Pressed Glass)
	5 5" x 3 5/8" No marks
	5" x 2 3/4" Lid mark: (William Rogers Quadruple Silverplate)

	5 3/4" x 3 3/4" Unmarked, two hinges are set back from the center.

	6 1/2" x 3 3/4" Unmarked, no cutout for spoon, pewter lid
	5 5/8" x 2 3/4" Cutout for spoon Utilities Specialties backstamp on lid
	4 1/4" x 4" This ID comes from a site visitor: US Glass #15078 New York better known as Manhattan, pattern circa 1902-1910. Part of the state series. It was reproduced but this is strongly believed to be an original piece. No cutout on lid Bottom design:
	5 3/4" x 3 3/4" Note silver band on the foot. No cutout for spoon Most likely used at one of the Childs Restaurants in New York. We found verification that they were used at this chain.
	4 3/4" x 2/78 " MEDCO stamped on lid. This is the same pattern as the one above but a smaller size.
	For side-by-side comparison, here are three versions similar to the bowls shown above. The two on the left have brass lids. This is the spoon cutout on one EAPG flip-top. It seems to be unique and might someday give a clue to its manufacturer:
	8 1/2" x 3 3/4" Common pressed pattern but a very unusual bowl. It has knobs for the cover to rest on when open. Also a soldered heavy wire inside. Maybe for a condiment spoon? Lid backstamp: Wire inside:

	4 5/8" x 2 7/8" Unmarked
	5 3/4" x 3 3/4" Lid marked "Everclose"
	6 3/4" x 4 3/8" We're placing this one here, but it could easily have been used in a soda fountain, because of its size.
	6 3/4" x 4 3/8" This is the same size as the one above, and ones like it probably saw frequent service in soda fountains. However, this one has a hook inside and may have been used with a nicer set of Hoosier-cabinet glassware.

	We couldn't resist including this one -- there's a similar one above -- that is topmarked T.P.T. & Co. The only ID that we could find for this company appears to be on a manhole cover in Seattle, WA (See photo at left). Top of lid: Lid detail:
	4 3/8" x 3 1/4" Lid is notched for spoon. It opens awkwardly because its knob is centered. Unmarked, and lighter weight than most, leading us to wonder if it was intended for residential rather than commercial use.
	4 1/2" x 3 1/4 " Completely unmarked.
	4 1/2" x 2 3/4 " Lid is marked Benedict Indestructo, and EPNS, electro-plated nickel silver. The lid also has two concentric circles and is missing its knob, which was soldered on rather than riveted in place. It has the narrowest ribs that we've seen in a flip.
