Anybody have any advice on how to set a price on this jar ? I've contacted Greg at NAG also. If we auction it I guess it just goes to the highest bidder but do we set a minimum
or what ? Guess my question is what price can we expect ? Thanks!
Regarding the closure/lid for this jar...my Dad had some papers with the Siddons jar that showed the dimensions, patent and type of lid. He says it was not inside the jar (like the stopple pics) but was over the outside of the jar rim......currently trying to locate the papers in his house :)
Took pics of jar and will attempt to post. Hadn't seen it in awhile, it says:
CHA S. SIDDONS PATENT ROCHESTER NY not C.S.SIDDONS. Sadly has 2 chips on the upper rim. Any advice how/where/price to sell ?
Thanks for all your info! I will post a picture for you but may take a day or two. (it's under lock and key other than in my home :) It is aqua colored and pretty sure half gallon. Unfortunately no lid/closure. I was wondering if it was in the Red Book. Gotta go see what other jars we have!
My family has an old fruit canning jar that says: C S Siddon 1868. I have found the patent for Mr.Siddons of Rochester NY in the US Patent Book but cannot locate any other information about it or if any others exist. Have talked to dealers who say it's very rare but no one knows the value of it...
