Early pontiled wax sealer. - 5/27/2008 1:07:44 PM    georgeoj   Posts: 96 Joined: 6/30/2007 Status: offline I posted another picture in the new to the collection section but this really belongs here. I have liked these early pontiled jars for a very long time. This one is in mint condition and is heavily whittled. George Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Early pontiled wax sealer. - 7/22/2008 9:19:55 AM    darrellp   Posts: 3 Joined: 7/22/2008 Status: offline That's a great jar and a super early one - probably 1850 or so.  Those were free blown and are known as the "bell shaped wax sealers".  They come in aqua and an incredibly beautiful sapphire blue.  My blue one is pictured here: http://www.darrellplank.com/jars/Individual%20Jar%20Pages/Blue%20Bell%20Wax%20Sealer.aspx Excellent find!  Mine is one of my favorite jars in the collection.

I agree that it is a top notch example.  I followed the link and saw the blue Willoughby in your collection. Congratulations on obtaining what I consider to be one of the best jars in the field. I had a clear Willoughby with origional stopper, in my first collection, back in the 1970's. Since starting my new collection, about a year ago, I have been looking for another.
