Clegg and Kemp / (CK) / Jams / Melbourne. No base mark. Owens machine type rings on base. Household Jam Screw top, mid amethyst, Half pint. 117 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Crude manufacturing lines around the lip and threaded area, including a small burst bubble to the thread itself. A few tiny nibbles and flakes to the lip edge, standard for a jar such as this, in fact this is better than usual. Hazy all over. A couple of rust marks. 1 cm scratch to rear body, and some lighter scratching to the lower lettering on the right hand side. Some other light scuffs and scratches. 5 mm fine partial thickness fracture under the base, which itself has some wear from extensive use. This is quite a hard size to get, particularly in this amethyst colour. It should polish up nicely, leaving a fantastic looking jar. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $20 - 30
