Amber Jar

Don't know much about jars but this looks like a good one.

It looks like maybe a tobacco jar, I'll look it up in RB.

I think #1235 at $20-30 but the closure is about 75%. They must be those attractive but common things.

They are common here in NJ... Tobacco/Snuff is right

Glad I didn't snatch it up thinking it was something great!

It's all a matter of wants really. Maybe they are common in, well Jersey, but very scarce in CA. Then say your a Railfan in CA and think it would be REALLY COOL as a centerpiece for a table as a vase or something. You go to shows for rail road enthusiasts but not to jar shows so you don't have one.
In some cases it's well worth the price for that. As an investment then not so much.
Me, I'm just not a jar or a RR item collector.
