Sorry it took so long to reply, had to figure out where I left my redbook. In my opinion it's as you suspected, and as the seller stated it's not listed with the L & W base in the redbook. Where most letters A - Z have several variants of base embossing, errors, etc. there is only one K listed in Qt and Hg. and that is the unmarked base variant. I think all letters have an L & W base listed except K and M. And now K has shown up so I would say they definitely made an M also ( W is listed - Hmmmm) All of these letter jars seem to be pretty good except a couple of the many C variants and half of the N variants (must have made a ton of those). Your jar is a nice one anyday.

P.S. The unmarked base Qt is listed as $75 - 100 compared to most letter unmarked base Qts averaging $30 - 40, again I believe this is because it (was) the only K variant listed.

Thankss for the great info on that! It definately makes sense. This christmas ill be getting a redbook so it should get easier from there[]

Yeah, #10's been coming for a long time now, but gotta be close, ya may want to wait on that. You'll simply be amazed at how many jars are listed!

 

[Tony14]

hmmm i think i might just take that suggestion and wait.

Tony-There is 1 important issue about your jar that hasn't been discussed much.....if that staining or cloudiness doesn't come out of jar it would diminish the value of the jar greatly...professional tumbling would help restore it....but that's an added cost.I have dug tons of jars and have run across this proble..hope this helps-John
