Globe Tobacco Jars

[CanYouDigIt!]

Hello everyone Does anyone here collect Globe Tobacco jars? I have several in my collection in different amber shades with the two different embossings of Detroit, and the Detroit and Windsor (Windsor Ontario Canada) There is also a 3 inch tall amber barrel type jar marked Detroit and Windsor, which I dont have in my collection that are considered extremely rare. Anyone have one of these? I sure would like to see a picture posted of one. Any information concerning other size jars or oddities would be most appreciated. The Windsor Globe Tobacco Company was a 6 story building located right on the Detroit river just east of the foot of Church street. When this area was excavated several years ago not a single shard of a Globe jar turned up to my dissapointment, and it was not for a lack of trying or being there every day or night looking! [8D]

Here are a few of the examples I have collected over the years

Anyone considering buying a Globe jar be careful. These are being reproduced sadly enough. They can be identified easily enough by the smooth unground lip and metal lid like the one in this Ebay listing.

Chances of this one being a repro are pretty good.

Hello Vic, I used to collect the Globe tobacco jars also. I sold all of my collection of jars but did keep the salesman sample you mentioned. Here is a pic of it next to a Carter cone ink to show you the size. The jar is 2-3/8" tall & almost 1-1/2" in diameter.

Another tough example to find is the tobacco jar embossed Detroit MICHIGAN on it. I sold my last one at the Kalamazoo Michigan show last April.

Enjoy the pic and good luck in your collecting. Best regards! Paul

Me again, not to take away from the Globe jars but did you notice the glass monkey swing in the Carter ink next to the Globe salesman sample jar? Also, here is a closeup of the Globe tobacco salesman sample. Paul

Paul thanks for posting the picture. That's a beautiful little Globe Jar! You say there is a simmilar jar with only detroit marked on it? A few years ago I missed a chance at one of these little globe jars on Ebay because I was out of town and could not bid. Oh well, I will find one soon enough, this is a local company and chances are there are a few around. Thanks again for sharing the information and posting the pictures.

Best regards Vic

Hi Vic, the jar I was referring to is a regular sized Globe Tobacco jar and instead of Detroit & Windsor or Detroit it has "Detroit Michigan" embossed on it. A little tougher to find but definitely doable. Do you do any trading? I collect Carter cone inks, Piso Cure & Piso Catarrh bottles. Stoneware jars with cobalt stenciling, better glass fruit jars. Good luck in your collecting. Paul

Hello Paul thanks for responding, In all ,I have 11 or 12 of the Globe jars, only 2 are marked Detroit & Windsor the rest are Detroit. I dont have any of the items your looking for right now and I do not collect jars, but I do find them every so often. My collection is local bottles from Essex County (Ontario) and Detroit stoneware and Sodas. Can you post a pic or two of the Piso bottles if its not too much trouble?
Best regards Vic
