Topic: Pws? Grave Markers? Id Help

[dreama]

I collect PWs mostly mosser, and degenhart, I picked these up and am lost?  They are small, about half the size of a degenhart, and half as tall.  They came from southern Ohio, inside is what looks like paper, i can see wrinkles.  And they say "in loving remembrance of " and then names.  One is Margert Maria Stone Died april 23, 1882 aged 43 years 3 months 8 days.  The other says the same thing, but a different name and dates.  They have what looks to be old paper or felt on the back that is almost all wore off.  I do hope someone knows what they are.

Glass has always had a fringe following for funeral momento industry. Gives you nice dated examples.

So were things like this given away at funerals.

Whoever organised the funeral would have paid for them... so not particularly given away unless perhaps they had a prize competition at the funeral of course ;-)
