First dig of 2011

[lexdigger]

Yeah, we had some flurries yesterday and the wind chill was Brutal! I only spent about a half an hour or so just surface hunting the site. Never actually did any digging other than scratching around. Was wanting something better than a fruit jar, but it's better than Nothing! With the jars I think you get into the money when it has a Pontil or an unusual Color. Some seem to do better than others. I don't collect them, but have ended up with a mess of em from digging. This one is neat because of a manufacturing flaw that created some deep waves in the edge of the lip. I love the older Crude stuff!

Cleaned up a little better. Has some stain and sickness, but not too bad. A good old solid piece of glass! Made my day to put something on the shelf from 2011.

Nice find Lex congratulations ,the flared lip seal jars are some of the prettiest made.

 

[CHRISTHEHAWK]

Nice jar, is that damage on the lip ?

 

[lexdigger]

The lip has a flaw in the glass that created a wave along the edge. There is a rough spot in the wave, like a potstone. Pretty neat and gives it character... I like the crude stuff!

I still have yet to get out this year and find something! There's been several inches of snow/ice on the ground for the past month. Hopefully I'll get out there soon [] Thats one of the neatest jars I've ever seen. The wax sealers are the nicest jars around IMO. Great find!
