A rare Civil War era applied mouth wax sealer half gallon that is embossed with a large, dual-outlined "U.S." logo, superimposed over: PATENTED MAY 12 1863. Great crude glass character with a nice whittled effect. Good condition with clean glass. There is one flake off the applied mouth. On the backside of the jar is a manufacturer's pot stone with radiations. Base: unmarked.
