I picked up this Lorillard snuff jar last Wednesday at a weeklong antique show in Madison NY. The white specs are paint splatter that will scrape off with your fingernail as I hadn’t cleaned it up prior to taking the photos. In all my years of collecting I haven’t seen an amber Helmes lid with a tobacco tax stamp, so this jar was a first. The paper labels are killer.I’ve got another newbie jar I’ll post a pic of as soon as I can get it photographed.Paul

This is the other jar I picked up at a show in Poughkeepsie NY this past Sunday. You can strike a match on the pontil scar. The stopple is whopped, but they are so dang hard to find I just couldn’t walk away from the asking price. The color was hard to photograph, but it leans more to apple green than aqua. Quart size.

Great jar....those Willoughby stopple' are super tough. Those go to ALOT of the early jars...the hg I showedyou that needed cleaning probably took one of those. It is the same style opening of yours. And being the stopple was patented in early 1859, yeah. David

Great jars guys!! Here are 2 I picked up last month. A pint and quart The Ideal. The qt has an embossed lid. Both are ground top. A few nice flaws in both. Now all I need is the ' papa bear' ( HG ) to complete the set. [attachment=The Ideals.JPG] [attachment=The Ideal Lid.JPG] [attachment=photo 3 (2).jpg]

Say, if you have a marked glass insert for a midget pint, I'd sure be interested in it!
