An early odd-closured aqua quart that is embossed on the front in 5 lines of block lettering as shown: "THE VALVE JAR Co PHILADELPHIA PATENT MARCH 10TH 1868 W. L. IMLAY". Shiny glass without damage or stains. The ground mouth has a small edge chip. Comes with the scarce correct original heavy coil-shaped iron wire clamp, and the correct original glass lid with square center depression. The glass lid has some amber swirling. Base: "3". This is the scarcest of the 3 versions of this series, and is a beautiful example.

From the Philip Robinson Museum Collection.
