If the jar had the closure and was in mint condition would be worth around $850-950. In present conditon probably $400-500. You could have the jar cleaned and see how it turns out.
Hi Nickolas,
I also have been collecting for 40+ years. I collect fruit jars so if you have any unusual closures, rare pints or colors would be interested.

I have updated my website with some better pictures and new additions. Recently added a gallon Retentive from Spurgeon's auction. I also have a quart and am looking for a pint. Visit my website at "jerrysjars.com". Merry Christmas to all and best of luck and health in 2016.

Jim, That is sad news. John was always great to deal jars with. He told me his family had the last ring up phone company in the country. He will be missed. Jerry Ikeda
I don't clean the bale wires. If you wanted to would use WD-40 with 0000 steel wool. Then coat with 3 in 1 oil. I like to old look of the original wire bale so don't touch mine. Jerry
