Mint. (9.6). Still has some white residue stuck to inner walls, this would be the arsenate of lead. Small potters pull type mark under the heel. Obviously has never been buried. Labels have some discolouration, wear and a bid of fading in places, but are fully legible and quite good in general. I have never seen one of these before - this company does have a larger impressed bung jar. Estimate: $30-50
