c. 1850
Treadle Mold for a Bottle
On front interior: portrait of Jenny Lind framed in wreath, and the words JENNY LIND On back interior: the words GLASS WORK'S and S. HUFFSEY
This mold may have originally been made for the Millford Glass Works in Millford, New Jersey. The lettering within the original mold had an error in the spelling of the factory name (Millfora instead of Millford) and an incorrect use of the apostrophe in the word WORK'S.
At some point this mold was altered by moldmaker Philip Doflein. Doflein replaced the word MILLFORA and the initial G. with the word GLASS, and added the name of the subsequent owner of the mold, S. HUFFSEY.
