Sold for A$210
(BSD monogram) // Specially Refined / Monogram Salt // (SBD monogram) // - //. No base mark.. Household. Jar. Applied top. Square section. Aqua. 2 pound. 180 mm. 1890s
Excellent. (8). 3 x 2 mm shallow flake to lip edge. Some fine dust in places should soak out. Usage wear under the base. Tiny nibbled spot of wear to one of the base edge corners. Nick or two elsewhere to the base edge. Some scuffs and scratches, nothing major. Great example of an unusual and rare jar. I sold one way back in Auction 12 stating I had never seen one before, I haven't seen one since either until now, including overseas. I don't think these are British, could they be Australian where they seem to be found? Or possibly Bombay Salt Department is another option? Estimate: $150-200
