@glassusa BOB ... from Reilly/Luna/Jenks page 309..
New covered sugar bowls. Original sugar bowls are 7" high with a 4" diameter. The base of the old sugar bowls has six half-dollars, the lid has six quarter dollars, and the finial consists of a stack of six coins. In descending order, these coins are: two dollars, two half-dollars, and two quarter-dollars.
Reproduction sugar bowls are also the same size and design as originally....New sugar bowls are heavier that old, while the glass has on oily sheen. The coins are poorly molded and the frosting is harsh. The most obvious difference...is that the dollar coin on the finial is blurred and lacks the fine detailing of the original. On the sides of the finials, the coins lack the fine reeding found on originals, and instead, display a smooth, worn surface.
