• Detailed Description:This listing is for a Vintage, Fo...storia Coin Glass Square Toothpick Holder. The pattern is based off the US Glass Silver Age line circa 1892 with many pieces similar or identical in shape. The pattern features relief coinage dating 1892 in celebration of the Worlds Fair (the US Mint was also celebrating it's 100th birthday in 1892). US Glass was forced by the Department of the Treasury to discontinue the line since the likeness was too similar to coins of the period and considered counterfeiting. Fostoria reworked and expanded the line reintroducing it in 1958 and continuing until it's closure in 1981. The Fostoria toothpick is identical to the US Glass design in all but detail. The most significant differences being in the coin reverse. Fostoria's have "ONE DOLLAR" underneath the eagle, originals have only stars. This is a great Fostoria toothpick perfect for expanding a Coin Glass or Toothpick collection.
