    Description

    Here is a slag glass tumbler made by Indiana Tumbler and Gobet Co. in Greentown, Indiana, about 1900.  It is an Uneeda Biscuit Tumbler.  It was made for National Biscuit Co. to be used by grocers to scoop bulk crackers out of containers for customers.  These were not used for long, as packaging changed to individual packages and the crackers were no longer sold in bulk.
    The tumblers were pressed with chocolate slag glass.   The front of the tumbler is embossed with the words "Uneeda Milk Biscuit" and the bottom of the tumbler is embossed  "National Biscuit Company." See photos.
    It is 5 3/4 inches tall and the top is 3 1/4 inches wide and the base is 2 1/2 inches wide.  It is in excellent condition.  No chips, cracks or repairs.  The photos of the tumbler may appear to have vertical cracks....but these are only colorations of the chocolate in the pouring of the glass.  They are not cracks!
