I’ve dug these before with a Baltimore loop seal but never one like this. Not something I need for my shelf but an interesting blob. Not quite a quart from my estimation, maybe 24 oz?
Pretty cool with the base embossing on those. There is a variant of the pint blob Eymer that is only base embossed as well. That one has an empty slugplate.
