Eddy & Eddy Pure Food Products Jar | St. Louis MO | Circa 1907 - 1912

A charming early‑20th‑century pantry jar embossed with the Eddy & Eddy name, this clear glass container reflects the era when small regional food companies packaged everyday goods in reusable, decorative glass. Its bold circular lettering, wide mouth, and stepped neck give it the unmistakable silhouette of transitional‑era commercial packaging—a period when hand‑finished bodies and machine‑made bases overlapped in American glassmaking.

The front embossing reads “EDDY & EDDY’S / PURE FOOD PRODUCTS,” a branding style widely adopted after the 1906 Pure Food & Drug Act. The jar’s form—wide mouth, rounded shoulders, stepped collar—aligns with containers used for pantry staples such as mustard, baking powder, spices, or condiments. While the exact original product is not documented, the proportions and finish are consistent with small‑batch food packaging produced between 1907 and 1912.

Eddy & Eddy of St. Louis, Missouri, established in 1879, marketed a wide range of household goods including flavoring extracts, spices, mustard, catsup, olive oil, baking powder, perfume, and laundry bluing. Their embossed jars are prized today for their strong typography, regional history, and connection to early “pure food” branding.
