Topic: Jobling? Uranium Beer Glass

[NevB]

There are a few similar designs in various catalogues but this is very like the Jobling 275 Fluted Can seen here, P.28.

In particular the " 275 Handled Can, 1/2 pt. Unstamped Green or Amber.

The Jobling one has a much narrower unfluted top section and the catalogue doesn't give a colour, which implies colourless to me...

[NevB]

I agree the image isn't exactly the same but as I  quoted it does say green or amber.

[NevB]

I have just seen one for sale, exactly the same in amber glass . It carries the Crown Stamp GR with a crown, used from 1910-1930 and the area identification number 64, which is for Newcastle upon Tyne, the same one shown in the Jobling catalogue. This at least indicates it was made by one of the North-East factories, but I can't find anything similar by Sowerby or Davidson, the two major beer glass makers.

This is a fluted can. The catalogue says the [plain] handled can is in green or amber. And if it's an etched mark on the amber, that doesn't mean it was made in the North East or even the UK; that's just where it was stamped

[NevB]

It seems strange they would use the same 275 number for a different pattern glass, it just says "handled can", no mention of "plain". I also don't believe they would be importing or bringing in glasses from elsewhere in England and putting the Newcastle stamp on them, when there were local offices all over the country.

This is the amber one made for Whiteways Cyder of Paignton, looking them up reminded me they made Cydrax non-alcoholic cider, whatever that may be! 

[Ekimp]

The handles of your green and amber versions are different shapes?

[NevB]

Yes Ekimp the handle on the amber one is rounder towards the top, about 5mm. wider, the glasses are otherwise identical in shape and dimensions.
