I am looking for info on a rare jar I dug.It is a pint sized Newman's Patent..A friend and I dug a qt. sized example about 2 years ago and they are in the $1000 range,my old Redbook lists the pint as unpriced and in researching the qt. for months,I have never even seen a picture or a sale listing for a pint.Does anyone have any idea of value,once it is cleaned up?It has some chipping to the ground lip but looks like it will clean up nice.Thanks for any help.Doug

Doug, That is a very nice find. If there is no damage when it is cleaned up you will have a highly desirable jar. If you are going to sell, I would suggest offering it at auction to get the best price. George

Thanks everyone,I am happy to hear it is a good one.I already had a mutual friend calling Greg S. about it.I just wanted a several opinions.I have a friend that collects early patent jars and if I feel I can price the jar fairly I will offer it to him first.If I am still unsure on pricing it will go to auction.I like jars but hear there are some killer sauces I need at the next glassworks sale.Thanks again

way to go doug! I dont really collect fruit jars yet anyway but I do always love seeing early and rare ones turn up on digs like yours. Ive only ever came close once to digging a really good one. This one pictured I dug this year but was badly damaged on the back side. 10,000 dollar jar droped down to 300. haha

Good luck on the sale!

Doug, What a great find. I am a pint jar collector so would be interested in your jar when you decide to sell. Original lids are tough to find, but worth the effort to put on a rare pint jar. Good for you!

That's a shame about that Ladies Favorite Ryan.Fruit Jars are so often broke it is a bonus when one comes out in good shape.It sounds like you are due for one.Good luck.

Jerry, Have you ever seen an original lid for the Newman's?I don't still have the qt. but I think the lid size maybe the same.
