That is one beautiful Jar! I've never seen a Root jar in that color or a Root lid. Is that some swirls I see in the glass? Congrats!

A random shot at the Kalamazoo show reveals a couple of folks deep into something about a fruit jar or some such strange object.

Very nice Paul! Great catch. BTW, I have a 1/2 pint Cohansey up on eBay for those who might be interested.
User Id treeguyfred, have a great day. I can't upload quality pix, all of mine are too big. Despite attempting to send them via email to my other email and back. Be well all.

It was cool to see how jazzed you were to get the jar, and was very neat to be able to hold it, that lid is just amazing. Just good karma coming back to you. Thanks for sharing...Bill

Paul,

Thanks for sharing an awesome find. Collecting over 30 years and never seen that lid.

Hi Paul,

I'm sorry I had to miss the K'zoo show, but unfortunately my Michigan trip had to be a week earlier. That trip did include a nice visit with the former owner of the Root, who said that he was hoping to see some happy collectors at his table. I'm very glad to hear that you are appreciating one of his jars. Did you happen to get anything else from this dealer/friend?

Hi folks, thanks for all the nice replies.

Jim, that was the only jar I bought at the show. I sent you a pm. Best regards to all. Paul

That jar is an absolutely stunning color. Very nice. Plus the exceedingly rare lid makes that a top shelf jar in any collection.
