This is an update to the update of August 1, 2012 posting.<\/p>\n

I wrote to the experts at the National Cambridge Collectors site and got this response about this piece: \u00a0“Cambridge issued a general catalog circa 1920-21 ( the precise date has not been determined)\u00a0bearing the designation Catalog No. 10.\u00a0\u00a0 In this catalog, among many other offerings, were\u00a0 six combination etchings ( each made up\u00a0of two etchings), all of which were shown on Marmalades.\u00a0 These combination etchings were designated Plate Etching 1, Plate Etching 2,\u00a0 etc., through Plate Etching 6.\u00a0 Each uses a distinctive main etching with a border etching around the top of the marmalade jar.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The “rearing horse and man” etching with its border \u00a0was designated (P)late (E)tching\u00a0 3.\u00a0 The No. 152 pertains to the actual marmalade jar\u00a0itself\u00a0and is not connected to the etching on the piece.\u00a0 While the number 525 fits the time period, I have not been able to locate any Cambridge Glass Co. reference for this number being used to designate the rearing horse with man etching.\u00a0 The border etching used in conjunction with the Rearing Horse and Man etching was No. 625.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
None of these etchings appeared in the next known general line Cambridge catalog issued in 1927\u00a0 Due to the infrequency with which PE 3 is seen, it can be concluded it was in the Cambridge line for only a short period of time.\u00a0 The precise dates have not been determined but would fall into the time period,\u00a0 1915 or later to the early 1920s.”<\/div>\n

This is an update to the original February 25th posting.<\/div>\n

I have finally gotten around to posting queries on the marvellous site – Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum<\/a>. \u00a0I posted this and asked if anyone recognized it. \u00a0I had replies and an ID in less than 20 minutes!<\/p>\n

This is what I have learned…..this is a marmalade #152 with the Cambridge etch #525\u00a0as posted by the Miami Valley Study Group.<\/a> \u00a0The border etch is #625. \u00a0The age of the piece is unknown, but the replies seem to indicate a possible 1920s date.<\/p>\n

Such a thrill to obtain an ID. \u00a0I’ve posted another query and actually submitted two photos to their gallery. \u00a0Check it out, it’s a great site with very knowledgable participants.<\/p>\n

We went to an auction in Brighton yesterday. \u00a0I came home with quite a few items, including alot of old china, that I didn’t need. \u00a0This jar \"\"<\/a>caught my eye. \u00a0It is unlike anything I own, or have seen. \u00a0I know that it is difficult to see the etch, but there is a man trying to control a rearing horse. \u00a0I would not have likely \"\"<\/a>picked it up, but the etch around the top resembles an etch on a jar that I own and I think it is a Cambridge etch. \u00a0The top is silver plate, although I don’t know if it is original. \u00a0I have two or three other jam pots and their lids are all crystal. \u00a0I will look to my books to identify this piece, but I have no recollection of seeing anything like this. \u00a0I am sure that some of my other purchases will show up, although I gave away a decanter and a sugar\/creamer set that I bought to my daughter-in-law (without taking photos!). \u00a0What WAS I thinking?<\/p>\n
