One of three identical molded glass holiday or Christmas ornaments. Small ball, mirrored silver, with thin silver metal cap and thin bent wire loop and hook attached. Cap is stamped: “MADE IN JAPAN”. No other marks. (see DL*298065.293 and .292) 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.
