All right! I don't know know where to ask specifically so I'm xposting this mystery. Where are my antique typography font people? I have a little milk glass jar. It obviously says "POND'S" as in the cold cream company. #vintage#antiques#milkglass#jars#glass 1/2

I keep debating what the characters are below the "Pond's" embossing on the bottom. I've tried inverting the colors; sharpening; de-interlacing; & pencil rubbing. I've found widely varying listings online from 1930s to 1990s. The sides of the jar don't say anything. #vintage#antiques#milkglass 2/2
