Well it is Happy Anniversary to me...I won this on ebay at a fraction of RB value ( Rb # 10 - 423 ) . It arrived in the mail on my anniversary, what are the odds of that??? It is a midget I P T Beaver jar , ground top , without the Beaver. There is a very very very slight embossing of small parts of the Beaver, the mold at the time of production must have been pretty much spent. It also has a pinch of amethyst but wrong closure. Anyone out there with the correct closure willing to part with one for an anniversary gift ?? lol ..
I also dug a 20 oz un- embossed product nothing jar , it has an applied top and also a hint of amethyst. Bottom embossed with a 100 and a diamond , indicating the Diamond Glass Co. circa 1890-1903, somewhere in Ontario. I like the square shape and bottom. I almost tossed it but decided to take it and clean it up. It had a badly rusted cover but I thru that out. Thanks for looking.
I am beginning to despise Photobucket..here we go again !! UGH !!!

Thanks guys for the comments.
A Beaver facing 'right' quart are common up here but demand $50.00+ , pints are scarcer and r highly sought after.
The Beaver facing 'left' is on everyone's bucket list... hard to come by.
The standing Beaver is the holy grail, only 1 out there that I have heard off... ( and I don't have it ) . [:(]

Nice jar! I have one left over from my jar collecting days, the lid is unmarked and I believe is original to the jar. What does the original glass insert look like? I will try to get some pics of it tomorrow it is in my antique booth right now.
