[Fruit Jars]

Doug, Yes but can't remember if I saw it on Ebay on in a collection. They are quite rare.

Here is a picture of the jar cleaned up.It only spun for a couple of days and still retains a little groundwear and a touch of haze,you can see in person but I was scared a bubble would open.Jason did a great job of protecting it so I may have him clean it the rest of the way.The flake off of the lip is very shallow and was done in the finishing of the lip.A repro lid would help out,as I think I have a better chance of finding another jar than tracking down an original lid.

I am still seeking pricing info on this jar.Has anyone seen this jar in a pint size?Thanks alot for any help

Doug, The jar cleaned up real nice. If it was up to me I would not clean it any further. It is a beauty.

As far I can tell Doug, you get to set the price. There is no info on one ever being dug. If you find the metal lid you can double the price you set. It cleaned up beautifully.

You da first man.

Doug,

What a great jar.....Congrats! I haven't been so lucky to find one yet out here in CA but my digging friend found a Newman's Victory jar from SF which I snapped a photo of at his house......these are beautiful as well....here's a photo of it(hope you don't mind me showing it A.K.)

Thanks for all the help everyone. If anyone is interested I am excepting offers.

Warren, I'd guess your right about the lid,it would be worth big bucks on it's own.I think there are only a couple original lids known to the more common qt..

Doug,That is a great jar your friend has.I am not a jar guy but some of the early ones sure are nice.

I appreciate the help everyone has given me and the interest several have shown on this jar.That being said I was unable to fairly price this jar so I listed it on ebay with a large starting bid.If anyone out there is anti ebay and really wants this jar,talk to me. http://cgi.ebay.com/pint-sized-NEWMANS-PATENT-DEC-20-1859-EX-RARE_W0QQitemZ160302788186QQihZ006QQcategoryZ892QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
