Chicago / Trade (CFJP monogram) Mark / Fruit Jar. M on base. Household Preserving Jar Lightning/Swing stoppered type, ground lip. Mid-amethyst. Pint Size. 137 mm. 1890s-1900s
Very Good. Usual chipping around the lip, three of these go down as far as the top of the heavy ring, all are shallow however. There is milky stain on the surface of the glass internally. Outside is slightly hazy with the odd light scratch to be seen. Embossing is actually very strong. Extremely rare jar in this colour, only the second we know of at this time. Once cleaned up this will be a little ripper. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $600 - 800
