5579. Rare SOLID POUR Masons Patent 1858 PINT

Start Date: 08/05/2013
End Date: 08/15/2013
Buyer: Duke1988
Price: $1,800.00

A pint size solid pour casting from a MASONS PATENT NOV 30TH 1858 mold. A routine procedure undertaken at the beginning of a glass-house work shift was to drop a gather of molten glass into the cast iron mold in order to heat the mold to working temperature for production use. Often the mold was only partially filled. However in this case the mold was filled all the way to the level of the top of the blow-over. Normally though, the resulting glass casting would have been recycled back into the glass pot. This one, for whatever reason, was kept or discarded, intact. This artifact was recently dug near the grounds of the Marion Fruit Jar & Bottle Co plant site here in Indiana, and was most likely made there. Note the large serified "1" on the base.

Very few Masons 1858 "solid pours" are known to exist, and a full pour casting from a pint mold is even more rare. A solid manufacturer's provenance adds to the significance of this one. Part of the blow-over is still in place as shown, the rest is sheared off. Weighs almost 4 lbs. A fantastic type of rarity which has very seldom been seen for sale.

5587. ATLAS EXTRA WIDE EZ SEAL ONE COMPLETE EXAMPLE KNOWN

Start Date: 08/05/2013
End Date: 08/15/2013
Buyer: emilyjane
Price: $1,850.00

Size: WIDE MOUTH SQUATTY PINT

Color: BLUE-AQUA

Closure: original glass lid (cornflower blue) that measures 3-5/8 inches in diameter, and original 3-piece wire clamp

Appearance: sparkling glass

Condition: excellent with no damage (has a small manufacturer's underfill on the neck bead, seen in the lip photo, left of the mold seam)

Embossing: strong

Base: "ATLAS EZ SEAL TRADE MARK REG"

Age: early 1900's

Availability: Very little is known about the history of this jar, or why only a few were made. Perhaps it was under consideration to compete with the "Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth" series being made by the competition. Prior to the recent discovery of this example at an antique shop in the state of Maine, only one example of this jar was known to exist. That one is missing the clamp and lid, making this pint the only known complete example. The jar has not been found in any other sizes. A fantastic rarity that would make a fine addition to any collection.
