Canadian / (Crown) / (Crossed Australian and American flag) / (Shield) / Fruit Jar. No Base Mark. Household Fruit Jar Swing stoppered type closure. Aqua. Half Gallon. 244 mm. 1890s
Excellent. There is no lid with this one. The ground upper lip has the usual flaking and small chips so commonly associated with these types of jars. The bail is missing, the wire band around the neck is still in place, but rusty. Within the glass around the lip and neck area are some swirls of dark green within the glass, some imperfection from when the jar was made which adds to the uniqueness of such a piece. A few light scuffs and scratches to the outer surface, nothing major at all. Some fine inner dirt and haze which is hard to see. A lovely example which is in great condition. A very rare Australian made Canadian brand jar with American and Australian flags! Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $500 - 750
