Description

Size:  QUART

Color:  BALL BLUE

Closure:  Mostly original. The lower cast iron ring, the affixing leather ring, and all three eye bolts are original. The top steel ring is an old replacement. The tin insert is of indeterminate age. Apparently at some point the upper iron ring was removed and broken or lost. And then later, during the collector era, it was replaced. But incredibly, the bolts were kept.

Appearance:  shiny glass

Condition:  flat chips on the side of the mouth, small open bubble inside

Embossing:  medium

Base:  smooth unmarked base

Age:  c1858-1860

Availability:  A rare & iconic jar with the closure largely intact, which has rarely been found. At one time this example was one of very few known in the hobby.

Margaret Shaw Collection.
