Picked this up recently - 12/4/2011 6:18:16 PM    Bixel   Posts: 731 Joined: 8/30/2004 From: Strathroy, Ontario, Canada Status: offline Ever since one of my first ever digs where we dug 5 broken Hamilton Glass Works cork sealers in one hole, I have always wanted to own a Hamilton, but never been able to find one for the right price. I saw this, for a very reasonable price, and decided to jump on it. Now I am not a jar guy, out of work and it still cost a bit, so probably not the best idea ever. Jar has a couple amber wisps in it. The lid is 2 tiny flakes from mint, which is good for on of these fragile lids. The jar itself has the tiniest, thinnest little crack I have ever seen in the backside. About 1.5" long at the longest, you can only see about 1/2" of the crack easy but if you didnt know about it, you could spin the jar around, and around and never find it. Fairly certain it is an annealing crack. It is available for sale if anybody is interested. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Formerly : Insulators Rule!
