SECONDS: Alice Ball Pint Glass
Sometimesย we come across glasses that aren't quite up to the standards we expect of our products. Instead of filling up the landfill with things that are pretty good but not perfect, we're making them available at a steep discount. These Alice Ball pint glass seconds may have some blemishes in the glasses themselves or may have some slight printing errors.ย

This pint glass features the African American chemist, Alice Ball, known for developing an injectable treatment for leprosy. Chaulmoogra oilย had been previously used to treat leprosy, but it provided inconsistent results and was very painful for patients. Ball discoveredย a water-soluble form ofย the oil thatย could be dissolvedย in the bloodstream. This became the most effective treatment for leprosy until the 1940s when sulfonamide drugs were developed. Even though Ball was the first woman and first African American to receive a masters degree from the University of Hawaii, the first female chemistry professor there, and made significant contributionsย in her field, some guy tried to take credit for Ballโs work after her death. Luckily, however, this man was corrected and we can now say โcheersโ to Alice Ball on February 29thย โ Alice Ball Day.
