On my monitor it looks like granny smith apple green. Others I'm sure will see something else. Digital images over the internet can never get you an accurate color.

Contact Greg Spurgeon he will give you an auction estimate on it. Norman Heckler also sells fruit jars and has sold items for me in the past. He sold a free blown mug for me in October and all I did was send him pictures of it. He will tell you what he thinks it will bring and you will not be expected to send it to him. He told me his estimate in an email and thanked me for my interest in his auction services. I ended up delivering the mug to him last year at the Baltimore bottle show and he was a delightful gentleman and super knowledgeable about all areas of glass. www.hecklerauction.com

I'm late to the game, but I'd call it yellow/green with olive/amber swirls. I have no idea if it's listed or not, but there are TONS of color variations for most of these 1858 jars. Many are not specifically listed. Swirls add to the value listed in the base color.

I will be at Baltimore as well! I hope you have a safe trip and find some great bottles or jars. I collect open pontiled utility bottles and have a serious addiction to snuff jars in various sizes and colors. Last year there were tons of killer snuffs to be had and I am hoping it will be the same this year. Best of luck with your jar!

Let us know what details you get about it. I am curious as to whether you are keeping it or are you going to sell it? I no longer collect jars I would just like to know if I may see it in an upcoming sale!
