content: Molded glass holiday or Christmas ornament, butterfly-shaped, ribbed or streamlined body, with molded butterfly on front and back. Mirrored silver, butterflies painted with yellow-gold bodies, red dots on head and wings, paint has faded. Metal cap with metal hoop attached to top, with bent wire hook for hanging attached. No mark. Similar ornaments were produced using older molds, prior to 1940, and those molds were then reused after 1940, making an exact date difficult.
