1 & 2. Good to Very Good. Both are dirty and grimy. The Improved has a little chip to the side lip and a large internal bruise at the lower back. No lids. Solid pair of jars. 3. Excellent. Quite grimy and dirty inside and needs a good clean. A couple of little nibbles on the thread and the neck seal. The back has a handful of very fine fractures combined with crude making marks and line. The largest fracture is 16 mm long across the mid back with a 9 mm one vertically towards the right seam. Also a couple of around 5 mm near the shoulder. You have to get the light at the right angle to see a couple of these. This is quite an unusual colour for one of these jars. Crude and interesting. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
