This data identifies the glass company number of the particular style of glass, its finish style, and its capacity of 9 1/2 ounces up to the overflow (O.F.).
Glass companies used labels of this type on certain pieces of their ware as “shelf samples,” to have a hands-on example of items produced, or to hand out to potential customers; this one would have been offered to a jelly packer to consider for packing his jelly in.
Good condition; very scarce label.
