PINT Newman's Patent Dec. 20 1859 - 8/15/2008 9:13:52 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1681 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline      I am looking for info on a rare jar I dug.It is a pint sized Newman's Patent..A friend and I dug a qt. sized example about 2 years ago and they are in the $1000 range,my old Redbook lists the pint as unpriced and in researching the qt. for months,I have never even seen a picture or a sale listing for a pint.Does anyone have any idea of value,once it is cleaned up?It has some chipping to the ground lip but looks like it will clean up nice.Thanks for any help.Doug Attachment (1) _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.

If there is no damage when it is cleaned up you will have a highly desirable jar. If you are going to sell, I would suggest offering it at auction to get the best price.

I dont really collect fruit jars yet anyway but I do always love seeing early and rare ones turn up on digs like yours. Ive only ever came close once to digging a really good one. This one pictured I dug this year but was badly damaged on the back side. 10,000 dollar jar droped down to 300. haha Good luck on the sale!
