Hi Madman,
Red Book 9 lists the one in your picture ground lip Qt aqua $15-18 and Qt clr at $35-50 but there are some variants that are worth more. Looks like a quart one in picture prices vary on other sizes. Hope this helps. Haven't dug any around this area.

MADMAN...I think these jars are under-evaluated. In all my years in the Hobby, I ain't seen but a couple....very attractive jar.
