Mason's / MFJ Monogram / Patent / Nov. 30th / 1858. Base: Has had * M * but very hard to see. (Victoria) Household Jar Screw thread top. Ground lip. Aqua. Half Gallon. 234 mm with lid. 1890s-1900s
Very Good. But there is an impact leading to a 30 x 3 mm bruise to the left side lip and a smaller thin 15 mm bruise inside the front lip. Both are quite hard to fully see and of course not visible with the lid in place. Rubber ring on the seal is quite perished and brittle and in fact in a few pieces that become more every time you remove the lid! Consolidated Fruit Jar milk glass insert inside the lid. Lid has corrosion and marks but is pretty good. Just light wear to the body of the jar. Dirt and grime. Wonderful embossing. Great looking example of this Australian Mason's variation. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $30 - 40
