Did anyone save a picture of this before the auction closed? I’d love to see what brought that price.

WOW! Wish I had one of those in my humble midget collection...

I don't do Mason Jars, but when I start to dig this year I will keep an eye out for them..!!!

Dang, I had no idea mason jars could sell for so much, I'm going to start researching these now.

Sounds like a good plan for everyone here.

Thanks for posting that picture. That color is quite impressive. Was this considered a “one off” or were there others in this light amber run?

Just amazing, can you imagine when this cobalt jar was manufactured what $36,000.00 would buy at the time of manufacture back then?

Not sure, but I believe the seller was not a collector and likely did not realize what they had. I'm sure they were more than pleasantly surprised. If it had been a "one of" I feel the final bid would have been quite a bit higher.

I find it amazing how someone would pay that much for a jar.

Amazing what will happen in an auction setting where two people want something...
