Sold for A$460

John Hicks / George St / Brisbane. Smooth base. (Queensland). Household. Jar. Lightning or Swing stoppered type. Wide mouth. Ground lip. Aqua. Quart. 182 mm with lid. 1900s

Excellent. (8.5). 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. Front of the lid is scuffed where the wire has been forced over the edge of it. Dust and grime around the shoulder and fittings. Only light wear and minor marks around. Interesting thin but very crisp embossing on these. Great example of a very scarce jar. Estimate: $400-800
