Could not find much History about the Hickok Manufacturing Co. Inc. other than the fact that it was founded in 1909 and the logo (the shield) registration ran out in January 1948 and was never renewed and that the company was based in Rochester N.Y. Some call this a power jar, trinket box, or vanity dish. It was in my grandmother living room with books of matches in it. The bottom is clear press glass with a ribbon design, the top is die casted metal, which smells like pewter but it could be what they would call “white metal” in olden days. Its top is a sundial with roman numerals from one to twelve in a, two-thirds circle and it has the words “MY FACE MARKS THE SUNNY HOURS.” I did fine a few of them online for sell however none of them were complete, they did not have the center part with the clear red marble on top. As a kid, I really liked that red marble. It does have very small fleabites around the second leave from the top where the lid had hit the glass, other than that it is in excellent condition and complete.
