Molded glass holiday or Christmas ornament. Ball, likely mirrored silver originally, possibly painted another color as well (traces of red and blue remain). Metal cap attached with thin metal wire loop and bent wire hook. Cap is stamped: "JAPAN". In 1937, a tariff decision (no. 54387) reversed earlier decisions regarding the marking of ornaments with their country of origin, established in the 1890 MicKinley Tariff Act and the Smoot-Havley Tariff Act of 1930. The ornament itself now had to be marked with with its country of origin by stamping it into the cap or by way of tag or sticker.
