NOTE: Big Button is an AKA…. the OMN is not Pioneer's No. 9. Pioneer was a decorator and did not make glass but they did use the OMN in their catalogs. We know that the OMN is No. 9, Heacock speculatively assigned the pattern to Crystal Glass Co. of Bridgeport, OH. No advertisements are available to confirm the pattern but we have several clues that help lead to agreement with Heacock’s speculation.The key difference between the similar Block & Lattice and Big Button is that the tops of the hexagons on Block & Lattice are flat and those on Big Button are pointed. The No. 9 aka Big Button cruet appears in wholesale catalogues as early as May 1890 (C M Linnington)
NOTE: Cruet handle is the same as NATIONAL GLASS CO. No. .100 (OMN) royal works
