John Hicks / George St / Brisbane. Smooth base. (Queensland) Household Jar Lightning or Swing stoppered type. Wide mouth. Ground lip. Aqua. Quart. 189 mm with lid. 1900s
Excellent. A real beauty with all the fittings. Lid is stuck in place on the perished rubber ring. Can see the ground lip though and it looks fine with the typical flakes and small chips around. A bit of contents type stain/haze around the bottom. A scratch down the back. Bail is solid with surface rust (and won't fit over the lid). Top example of a rare jar. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $250 - 300
