Saw this Aqua 1858 Mason Half Gallon Jar today at an antique store. The unusual thing about it was the embossing was small, a lot smaller than your typical Mason. Not sure if these are common or not, and me not being a jar collector left it behind. Also saw a clear 1858 Mason today, don't see them as often as the aqua ones it seems like.

The real small embossing can be tough to acquire even though not valued all that high.

Very correct....small embossing are tough....but the "true clear" hg 1858's...woof...very tough. Usually the base and the thicker glass is what kills it....I have always felt that these colorless jars a way under valued. You get a colorless jar of this circa it books for $20 - $30. But believe me, you will pay double to triple that for nice example. I have a couple around #1920 and a #1939 clear hg's....I will get a picture when it gets light and post it. They are tough to get on eBay, most folks really don't understand the term, I have gotten plenty of them in and wala...the base has tone to it. David
