WOW. We cannot find anything like this collection going back as far as we could. Then we found this magazine page.
Complete Set of Six Rooster Clear Glass Crystal Canisters and Lids by L. E. SMITH GLASS, circa 1963.
Please closely examine the photos provided and use the zoom function for part of the complete description.
Smith Glass produced these square, clear "crystal" glass canisters with rooster head lids in the 1960s.
We cannot find a full set of six like these anywhere; for that reason we are selling them with several flaws. We believe the canisters were given individual model numbers, ranging from 212 to 218.
Clarity is great. All combs and wattles are in perfect condition.
From largest to smallest, approximate measurements:
13" tall, 5" square
Lid has small chip on bottom rim.
11.5" tall, 5" square
Lid has been repaired by someone before us.
9.5" tall, 4.5" square
Lid is perfect.
6" tall, 3.5" square
Lid is perfect.
5.5" tall, 3" square
Lid is perfect.
4" tall, 2" square
Lid is perfect.
Selling all six for one price, for less than we'd like, due to the issues.
All looking in one direction (left looking) the set shows the aforementioned issues. Looking right, they show no damage whatsoever.
More photos upon request.

We sell select vintage items. They are not new, and rarely look new. They are, in many cases, older than we are, and have seen life and times. We do not repair or replace parts on any of the items we sell. They came to us in the condition they are now, and are sold as is.
When we say an item is in “excellent vintage condition”, we mean just that – it is in excellent condition for its age. We are very particular about what we buy and sell, and describe things to the best of our ability, in a fair and accurate way. Please - closely review the photos using the zoom tool, and pay attention to the descriptions of the items you wish to purchase. If you have questions about anything at all, we will gladly answer them prior to your purchase.
Our packing materials may be unsightly, albeit brilliantly effective. We try to reuse as much material as possible from our business. We wish you would use it again, too.
WE DO COMBINE SHIPPING. Let us know! We'll give you a total and adjust the listing prior to your purchase.
GLASS and CERAMICS
*Please Note*
Pressed, molded or blown Glass has imperfections from the manufacturing process. These imperfections are inherited from production and are not considered damage. These minor imperfections often occur, such as: small defects in hand painting, color variations, creases or lines from molds, tiny air bubbles or small debris encased in glass is considered natural and is not going to be scrutinized or considered damage. However, I will make note if I notice any larger imperfections that appear to be beyond the acceptable norm as a defect.
