First dug ground lip jar

[Tony14]

Hey thatnks gunther! Whats the age of this one you think?

L&W glass is pretty early. Probably late 1860s to about 1874. Jar collectors may be able to narrow it down more. I love early Pittsburg glass.

The color is tough to see. Maybe a picture thru the heel looking up at the sky would help. Like you said the S's are great. Nice jar.

Tony, I was trying to see if it was a color other than aqua. Studying the redbook 90% of theses letter jars A - Z were quarts and only came in aqua. Your's is listed in Qt aqua only. There were a couple letters that also came in apple green. I'm quessing your's is aqua but still a sweet find.

yea its like a darker aqua... a little lighter than a ball blue and a little darker than my lightning. So 35-50 is the book value then? Thanks everyone for the help!!
