Embossed “NE PLUS ULTRA, AIR-TIGHT FRUIT JAR/ MADE BY BODINE & BROS’ WMS’ TOW

Here is a “circles and squaresâ€. pint size Bodine fruit jar. It seems to be a very valuable bottle with numbers in the thousands of dollars. Does anyone have any insight onto Bodine fruit jars and/or their monetary value? Thank you.

No lid, very good condition aside from sandwear as I found it buried in the mud in a river in NJ. Nothing a little tumbling couldn't get rid of. I'll try to get a better picture. The slight depression on the lip is not a chip, just a nice rounded smooth perhaps defected lip. I'm not sure, but its definitely not a chip. How much do you all think it might be worth. Also, any information would be great. Thanks all.

You have a very rare AND very desirable jar. I would recomend that you do not tumble the jar as you may decrease the value. Let the ultimate owner make that choice. Pictures on a white surface and in sunlight would help a lot. Is the jar pontiled? It is very hard to tell in the picture. Either way, if the jar is not damaged, it would bring several thousand dollars. I would recommend screening the area where you found the jar to find the lid. If undamaged, the lid is worth a substantial amount.

Yes, it does have a pontil, iron or sand - I'm not exactly a pontil specialist. That is very intriguing information. Thank you very much!
