Lafayette Jar

[Halfempty]

I'm still going through the boxes of bottles that I collected when I was a kid.
(Back then if it was in one piece and it looked good I kept it. That's still pretty much the extent of my knowledge when it comes to old bottles and fruit jars.)
I found this Lafayette jar with the number 4 on the bottom. I can't seem to find much information about it.
I believe it's a Pint jar. It is 6" tall and the base measures close to 3 1/4" across.
I don't think I would sell it but I am interested in it's value, if any.
Thanks,

Jim

Looks like a # 1452 in the red book, shame you dont have the correct closure. For the pint size its listed at 300 +

I ordered a Red Book 12 and it came in yesterday. I'm new to this so I'm not familiar with all of the terminology they used to describe the jar.
I guess I'll try to find a closure, if possible.
I really appreciate the info.
thanks,

Nice jar & very desirable in the pint size. You should check out the North American Glass website. Greg's January 2022 jar auction is currently underway. There is a complete original stopper for a Lafayette jar (lot # 363). Also, check out the Archive section of the website for past auction sales results to give you a ballpark idea of what the jars and/or the stopper assembly sell for. It is a very nice & informative site for jar collectors.

Awesome information,
Thanks, I'm going there now.

The closures for this particular jar are much more common than the jars, so should not be difficult to search one out for a reasonable price.
