Summit art glass no. 570 covered pony
White milk glass Ponies by John Kemple Glass are a bit easier to ID.
Kemple Ponies have thick lids which sit higher atop bases than Mckee
Glass Co. or Summit Art Glass. Insides of lids and bases are most likely,
but not always, stippled like orange peels. Lid rims are very wide and
flat. Kemple bases, like original Mckee Glass Co. bases, are flared at the
top. Kemple's base rays do not meet at the bottom center of the dish.
There is an oblong unmarked, possibly stippled area where the rays do
not come together, commonly called the thumbprint area. Kemple
Ponies were labeled with John E. Kemple stickers placed across the
tops of the dishes. If this label is missing, the Pony is unmarked.

When three unmarked milk glass Ponies are side by side, you can see how Kemple's
thicker lid sits up higher on the base. You can also see the flare at the tops of two
bases. I personally observe all mane shapes are different, all jaw shapes are different
and that Kemple Ponies have the smallest gaps between chin and neck area.
I DO NOT BELIEVE SUMMIT PONIES WERE MADE WITH ORIGINAL MCKEE MOLD(S).
