HIYA RHONA & TNCGAL...
Perhaps the double-ended one had cold cream in the larger end and rouge in the smaller? Circa 1920's-40's.

I find quite a number of milk jars. I have a Lady Esther, Boncilla, Ponds, and a Turpo jar. I just found another boncilla jar at a new dump I just discovered, but I already have one so I left it. Maybe I'll go back and get it tomorrow and figure out what to do with it later.

I saw your post on another thread about the taller jar being for shoe polish. I believe you're correct. Here's one to compare.
