Dancing Ladies
Straw Jar / Barber Sanitary Comb Holder may be one of a kind.  Many Depression Era companies used this mold and similar molds for their straw jars.  They were most often found displayed in Drug Stores, Ice Cream Shops, and Diners. Barber Shops used the same jars in crystal and used them to hold their combs, scissors etc.   This lovely piece is in excellent shape with a beautiful satinized finish and has 4 dancing nudes encircling the jar. We have collected Straw Holders / Straw Jars since the early 1970s and this is the only straw holder with this kind of decoration that we have ever seen.  We purchased this jar years ago at a Depression Glass show.  It was sold to me as a straw jar, however I don't know how many women would want dancing ladies on their straw holders, so I assume this item belonged in a bar or barber shop.  The glass parts of this awesome piece are in
Undamaged Condition without chips, cracks, or mold damage.
The inside of the straw holder is nice and clear.
The metal insert has been replaced.  The one that came with it was corroded and peeling.
