The cobalt car pictured is by L. G. Wright modeled after the Barouche salt made by Central Glass Company around 1880-85. Besides the obvious size difference, the larger Wright reproduction has a groove slot for a cigarette. Wright closed it's doors in 1999 and this mold was bought by Fenton. No further information known at this time.
The old salts by Central Glass are known in clear, blue, amber and yellow (vaseline). |

This explains how even though a company such as Wright may own the mold, the piece may actually be made by another or several different glass companies. |
