Commonwealth / Fruit Jar. Base Mark: M.. Household. Jar. Lightning or Bail type. Ground lip. Amethyst. 1/2 Gallon. 241 mm. 1910s
Very Good. (7.8). Rusty wire and bail. This rust has worn off to the shoulder, I think this will soak out? A few minor slivers and flakes around the ground lip, as expected for this type of closure. Lid looks original, it is the same colour and has the same rust stain. This is nibbled around the upper lugs and has a chip to the outer flange. Some other rust stain and grime around the body of the jar which looks like it will mostly soak out. Inclusion to the left of C has a fine surface fracture associated with it, this is from making. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Quite a nice jar in this colour, not one you see for sale often. Estimate: $30-50
