These range shakers are unmarked but according to Gene Florence's book, "Kitchen Glassware," they were made by Hocking Glass Company. They are transparent green but they do glow under black light and actually seem to glow somewhat under any light. They both have their original aluminum lids that are in great condition except for a bit of denting at the very tops. One shaker appears to be in perfect condition. The other has a crack that runs from just below the neck of the bottle and goes all the way down and under the shaker. However, what makes that crack hard to discern is the fact that it blends somewhat with the ridges in the glass and is not readily seen. Also, the crack is on the side of the shaker and does not show at all from the front. I put water into it and it doesn't leak at all. Amazingly, the rims of both shakers are nice and smooth with no major roughness or flea bites or chips. Each one measures about 5 inches tall and the bases are about 2 1/4 inches in diameter. These are quite hard to find and even with the fracture, they make an awesome pair for display or for use.
