This rare vintage antique thermos commemorating the antique Hudson Motor Car Company is approximately 11 3/4” tall. It is approximately 5” at its widest width (including the metal handle and outward metal spout.) I have it pictured with both a 12” and a 15” ruler. The metal plate on this thermos has the wording which I have above in bold italics. On the bottom, as pictured, is the wording: Hotakold Trademark, Manning-Bowman & Co., Meriden, Conn Made in U.S.A.
Hudson Motor Cars (with a spotlight on the 1936 Hudson cars)
Roy Chapin had worked with Ransom Olds, the first man to use an assembly line to build cars.
The Hudson Motor Car Company was founded by auto pioneers Howard Coffin, George W. Dunham, and Roy E. Chapin, and largely funded by department-store owner Joseph L. Hudson.
In 1910, just one year after it was created, Hudson was the eleventh-largest auto company in America - a country then rife with automakers.
Hudsons were advanced for the times. Even their early cars were mainly closed models, sealing out the weather; and Hudson quickly put the steering wheel on the left and hand levers in the center, their modern positions, then adopted GM's self-starter earlier than most makers, making cars easier and safer to start.
Hudson had the first balanced crankshaft, used in their straight-six engine, to smooth the idle and allow the engine to rev higher.
Other firsts included dual brakes (mechanical brakes kicked in when the pedal traveled lower than the hydraulic brakes' normal maximum point), and placing oil pressure and generator warning lights in the dashboard. Hudson's early cork clutch was both smooth and, surprisingly, durable.

And, taken from Wikipedia, the following excerpt:
The
Hudson Motor Car Company
made Hudson and other branded
automobiles
in
Detroit
, Michigan, U.S., from 1909 to 1954. In 1954, Hudson merged with
Nash-Kelvinator
to form
American Motors Corporation
(AMC). The Hudson name was continued through the 1957
model year
, after which it was discontinued.
The name "Hudson" came from
Joseph L. Hudson
, a Detroit department store entrepreneur and founder of
Hudson's
department store, who provided the necessary capital and gave permission for the company to be named after him. A total of eight Detroit businessmen formed the company on February 20, 1909,
[2]
to produce an automobile which would sell for less than US,000 (equivalent to approximately ,804 in 2020 funds
[3]
).
