Old Fruit Jar

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

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!

The jar is very rare and very desirable. There is no way to set a price on such a jar other than auctioning it to the highest bidder. The NAG auction is, by far, the best place to do this. You will not need to set a reserve price since all of the top jar collectors will be there bidding.

If it goes thru NAG Greg will probably put a starting bid on it, 100- 200- just a guess. If you are going to sell it you can start it at any price........to get the best results you've got to reach the top collectors....I had a really rare jar and went through NAG....and got super results.

Agreed, no doubt NAG would be the way to go on such a rare jar. You could sell it yourself of course, but you will still get a better return if you have Greg sell it. One of the reasons with that too is Greg is very much respected in the hobby and his knowledge is very extensive with fruit jars. Especially these earlier jars. Buyers will know Greg has inspected every detail with your example, and nothing will be left to guess. [

Best of luck whatever you decide to do with your fantastic example!

So, apparently this jar didn't get sold through NAG? Or did I just miss it? Yes, a photo would be wonderful as the previous pictures can no longer be accessed.
