11698. MIDGET Pint CROWLEYTOWN with MASONS In Straight Line

Start Date: 02/08/2016
End Date: 02/18/2016
Buyer: flatbaby
Price: $5,986.00

Size: MIDGET PINT

Color: AQUAMARINE

Closure: unlined zinc cap "TRADE MARK ALWAYS RELIABLE SMSCo" with tall side lug

Appearance: shiny glass

Condition: Has a very thin chip on the heel as shown, and there is a small reflective ding within the glass on the right shoulder as shown. Excellent ground lip with very little flaking.

Embossing: strong

Base: perfectly flat base is unmarked

Age: c1858

Availability: Extremely rare, only a handful of these are known. This version, with MASONS embossed in a straight line instead of an arch, is considered to be the very first in the so-called "Crowleytown" series of Mason style jars and the first to employ John Mason's patented screw cap. The sharply-squared heel shape was an overlooked design flaw in these earliest jars, which led to many examples incurring heel damage during normal use.
