Description

Size:  QUART

Color:  AMBER and YELLOW

Closure:  amber glass insert and original zinc screw band

Appearance: sparking glass

Condition:  manufacturer's edge chipping of the ground mouth all around, no damage

Embossing:  light to medium

Availability:  This iconic early Nova Scotia jar is scarcely found even in the typical aquamarine color, but virtually unheard-of in this outrageously bold color variation. When discovered in the basement of a house in Nova Scotia, the jar was still filled with canned food. The amber insert lid is not original to the jar, but is a good fit for collector display. An important early Canadian jar with fantastic visual appeal.
