Valued features: Swirls, whittle, pot stones, bubbles, globs, dirt (in the glass), crackle, orange peel, distortions in shape, crooked applied tops and any other in the making flaws.

I will pay a strong premium for common jars with great crudity.

Some examples of the things that I am looking for are in the picture.

I prefer undamaged jars but the greater the crudity, the more tolerant I am of minor damage.

George

George,
Looked through my jars and found this crude one. I think it is a Hartell's or a Hartell & Letchworth. It is very thin glass, swirled and stained, with what looks like a small insect? (brown spot near shoulder) embedded in the glass. It has a lugged ground top with a small chip on the ground rim. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Rob

Hey George, if your not in to big of a hurry, i have got alot of common 1858s that have some form of crudeness to them, i just have to find the time to dig them out. I have a 1858 marion 1/2 gal. with a monkey swing towards the top of jar. That one is easy to find, will get pics. posted. Most of the time it was the only reason i kept them was of the crudeness of the glass, just hard to display everything. Warren

Hi Warren, I would be interested in the Marion. I do not have a jar with a monkey/bird swing.
I can wait as long as it takes for you to dig out the other crude jars that you might want to part with. Thanks! George

Thanks Rob! Payment will be sent today.

Here is another example of what I am looking for. I just got this one in the mail.[:D]
The swirls are on the OUTSIDE of this one.

Rob,

The jar got here today[:)]. The light whittle was a pleasant surprise. I will give the jar a polish as soon as I can get some cleaning equipment set up (probably this winter). The jar will find a good home in my crude jar collection whether or not I ever find a lid to fit. Thank you!

George

I'll have to dig through the pints & quarts I still have left. I am only collecting 1/2 gallon sized jars now.
I know I have a super-crude Mason's CFJCo. Patent Nov.30th 1858 pint around here somewhere. If I can remember how to post pics on here I will get some posted. Beautiful little jar. Probably the crudest one I've ever seen. Had it for years now.
I'll get looking for it. [:)]

Thanks Bill. My crude collection is sadly lacking in pints and I am very much on the search for some good examples. My only crude pint is a midget. Here is a picture of it. George
