Lot 403: Jars. Original Wooden Box for Mason Fruit Jars, One Dozen Quart, Lockport Glass Works, New York! WITH 12 DIFFERENT Mason's Jars inside! (United States)

N/A. (N/A). The box is a fantastic thing. Printed at both ends including a picture of a Mason's Jar and details that the case contained one dozen quart Mason's Fruit Jars from the Lockport Glass Works in New York. One end is better than the other. There is a nail through the bottom of one end and another pushing the edge out slightly. Has dividers inside between the jars. One panel of the lid has print underneath, looks like this is from another box. There are borer holes in the wood. Fantastic I say again!
