Your's is a nice crude jar. I do have similar jars in my collection and will not need to add more. The focus of my efforts now are to add extremely crude or very odd jars as replacements for crude to very crude examples that I have on the shelf. George

A new one[:)]. The line of glass is inside the jar and is nearly sharp enough to cut your finger in spots. There are also some bubbles and light swirls.

Good stuff, your newest addition is pretty wild!

I like your collecting focus, nice niche to work in. Do you happen to have any pictures of your display(s) floating around?

Here is a near current picture of my crude jar collection[8D]. The size of the collection is not likely to increase. When I am able to find a jar that is more crude than any similar jar in the collection, a jar will be replaced. I started this collection (with the exception of four jars) within the last year. Part of the idea behind this posting has been about showing new collectors that you do not have to spend a lot of money to have a nice collection. The AVERAGE price paid is just under $30. If I remove the four jars that I paid the most for, the average drops to just over $20.

A couple of new ones. The picture does not show how extreme the whittling is on the PORCELAIN LINED. It matches, or surpasses, the next best one in the collection. It has some nice bubbles as well. The smooth lip MASON'S is, now, the most distorted jar in the collection. The jar must have been too hot when it was released, or PULLED, from the mold. The result is the pushed in sides and an oval mouth. There is also considerable swirling and clear evidence of scratching in the mold. Someone must have hidden this one in their lunch bucket and carried it home. There is no chance of getting a lid to go on. [8D][:D][:)]
