That rough top looks like there should be something to protect the user from cuts. If they were for juice they probably would have had a better finish around that lip.
Christmas ornament toppers don't need to fit over anything, they attach with wire clips that press against the inside of the opening.Thanks for your thoughts and photo's.
The openings are flush with the top, so there is nothing for the metal top of a Christmas ornament to fit over. All three containers are identical.
I don't believe that they were meant for continued use , thus the thin glass, but more as a marketing technique. As far as cost to a farmer , I can't imagine these containers costing more than a few cents a piece back in the day, not a great cost for a citrus grower trying to promote his product. Who knows ??
So, far , I guess I have (3) oddities. The mystery continues.
Again, thanks to everyone for there comments . I appreciate them !
I remember going down to California as a kid and getting orange juice in orange-shaped containers. I believe by the 1970's, though, the ones we got were plastic. I have no doubt that they could have started with glass ones. We might have got them at Disneyland, though. I'm not sure.Thanks for your input.
I think these were meant to be single use containers, they are much too thin to be a regular house hold item.
I compare them to glass "target balls". use one time and discard ??
Maybe they are from the 20-30"s when orange juice was being heavily promoted to the US population. The marketing idea of "Drinking an Orange" became the
savior to the citrus industry in the early part of the 20th century..
Again thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate them.
