5917. BROWN AMBER and DARK SWIRLED Quart BALL 3L MASON

Start Date: 10/17/2013
End Date: 10/29/2013
Buyer: Duke1988
Price: $6,103.00

Size: QUART

Color: BROWN AMBER with darker amber swirls, there is no trace of green whatsoever in this one

Closure: zinc cap

Appearance: sparkling glass

Condition: minor nicking of the mouth

Embossing: Strong and uniform, which is rare to find in the off-colored examples of the Ball 3L series, which are notorious for weak and/or inconsistent lettering. This one is the rare exception.

Base: "VI"

Age: c1900

Availability: Extremely rare and one of the finest examples of a Ball 3L Mason that exists. The color is super deep, but still with enough transparency that the color displays great. A truly incredible jar that should fit well in virtually any collection of rare and colored jars, regardless of specialization.
