Excellent. (8.6). Rubber ring has perished in place on the sealing rim but the glass lid comes off easily enough. Ground lip is really good with just small flakes and marks. Typical line of wear around the outer rim of the top that a lot of these types of jars seem to have. Just light scratches and wear around. Really good embossing for these jars. Great example of a very desirable Australian preserving jar. (Jar 1263, "The Standard Fruit Jar Reference 2011, Dick Roller"). Estimate: $300-400
