content: Molded glass holiday or Christmas ornament, silvered ground, painted. In the shape of a cocker spaniel, painted yellow with the bottom half of his body in a red bag that reads “My Darling” in cursive on the front. Metal wire hook attached at top to a curled metal wire that protrudes from top of dog’s head. No mark. Ornaments using this mold were made prior to 1940, but this mold was also reused after 1940, making it difficult to date.
