Vintage DOG Pressed Glass Charm

Originally sold in the Five & Dime stores back in the 1920s and 1930s, these very special pressed glass charms were made in Japan. Each one measures about 1/2 inch long (not including to little metal loop) and about 3/8 inch wide. There is some variation in size as you would suspect in handmade novelty items.

The 4 glass hues differ slightly within each shade. Some are deeply colored, others are a little lighter. Each one bears a string which may be any color (we tried hard, but couldn't find a pattern in the string color).
