Lafayette food jars

Does anybody know about antique food jars with the name Lafayette embossed on them? Thanks!

Aqua script word Lafayette towards the bottom. They have one on ebay right now. It has the original cap and is at $144 with 2 bids 21 hours left on it. If your talking about the one with the bust called long neck that is a bigger dollar item. They were considered fruit jars.

The closure has an 1885 patent. I saw one with a label Chow Chow Pickles.

The one on eBay is an aqua quart, LAFAYETTE (in script) stopper neck finish, 3 pc glass and metal lid. In Red Book 11 it shows #1452 - $125-175.

The Lafayette aqua jar sold for $245. With the glass lid.

Value is what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm not a jar collector, but that was a nice one.

Oh yeah! I love when they have the original lids but really the lids can sometimes be more valuable than the vessel.
