That's a nice jar. With a proper closure, even better. It looks a little apple-ish olive to me, but color is always tough to see in pictures. As far as rarity goes, I'm not sure. One sold on NAG back in December for $60 with closure. Someone probably got a good deal on that one as it should have gone a little higher, in my opinion.

I didn't see that you also posted this jar in the "Prized Possession" forum. One of the pictures you posted there looks a little more olive. Regardless of what you call the shade of green, I think it's a really nice jar (I think I was watching the ebay auction on this one). Rare is such a difficult term - to me it means only a few examples known. I'm not sure how many of these are known, but you don't see them hardly at all. Since you posted it in the prized possession forum, is it a jar that you've wanted for a long time?

Dygger60 : I believe it's from 1878 - 1880. I believe it was blown in Nova Scotia, Canada. Can anyone confirm ? Thanks jaroadshow

jaroadshow - it was defiantly not made in either of the 3 Nova Scotia glass factories.

Hi : Can anyone tell me at which Canadian Glass House this jar was blown. I "suspected" out east, if my suspicions are wrong , please help clarify. Thanks jaroadshow
