Trying to find some information on this unusual Ball jar? Anyone know the history or have information on it? Thanks

I never saw one but don't have a red book to look it up either. Crazy find! Great jar. It's gotta be quite rare but others will probably know. Nice to check the forum and see a great jar. Johnny M.

When you say big how big do you mean? It looks like a winner winner and could be a #216-9 in the red book with a value in the high 4 figures. A beautiful jar and would love to hear the back story on it.

Amazing. Only second example I've seen in all my years of collecting. Been looking out for one hoping to uncover an example collecting dust somewhere but no luck yet.

Very rare. Only a few examples are known to exist and I think most, if not all, of those have damage.
