content: Molded glass holiday or Christmas ornament in the shape of a fish. Opalescent ground, painted bright pink body, blue eyes, lips, and fins, with molded scales. Metal cap attached at tail, with bent metal wire hook attached to a curled metal wire that protrudes from the fish’s tail. No mark. This ornament mold was used prior to 1940, but then reused since then, making it difficult to date.
