This HG jar is listed as #251, but the book says smooth lip/glass lid, this one is ground lip,is this just a misprint or an unreported jar ?
It does look like the lip has damage from the pic. Dealers did grind jars but makers did also if it would be an easy fix. If the top got damaged in making they may have ground some of it to get the band and lid to fit rather than making a new jar.I have herd stories of dealers grinding tops to hide chips and / or getting a jar to date older.
