Listing # 3857
Size: PINT
Color: DEEP AQUA
Closure: applied ring collar mouth is made for a glass drop-in lid (not included)
Appearance: This rare pint was discovered in a riverbed in New Jersey in 2010, and the condition is exactly as found. The jar shows some expected scuffing as well as high point wear on the lettering and around the edge of the mouth (see zoomed-in close-up image of the mouth). It has not been professionally cleaned or altered in any way.
Condition: No damage except for the aforementioned wear. There is a manufacturer's undulation (underfill) in the top edge of the lip.
Embossing: strong
Base: bare iron pontil scar
Age: c1858-1860
Availability: Extremely rare in pint size. This example is fresh to the market and is being offered in the exact condition as it was recovered from a river in New Jersey 2 years ago. Could be professionally tumbled to near perfection by the new owner if desired, or left just as it is. In my opinion the jar displays perfectly fine just as found, and thereby can tell its own story. The color is a richer shade of aqua or blue-green.
