The white Proesser buttons are not the same as "milk glass," as the buttons
were made by heat compression and the latter are melted and molded. Also, I
believe the 19th century ornamental milk glass is more opaque and opalescent
than the milkier 20th century glass.
I have to laugh, as I attended a lecture a few weeks ago by a young woman
who kept talking about a medicine jar with a funny name. Suddenly, it hit me she
was mis-pronouncing "Mentholatum" and I nearly burst out laughing. Carol
Serr sat behind me and leaned forward to say, "she is too young to know."
