Size: QUART
Color: BLACK GLASS
Closure: early lugged zinc cap, and probably the original, since this jar had always been passed down in the family as a keepsake
Appearance: sparkling glass
Condition: shallow chipping on the ground mouth
Embossing: strong
Base: "4"
Age: 1877
Availability: Made in 1877 by the Hemingray Glass Co of Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky. In that year Adam Dickey of Middletown, Ohio obtained a patent for black glass to be used in preserving fruit under the premise of allegedly preventing discoloration of the produce. See the Patent. The concept of opaque black glass for canning jars was not successful in the market, as evidenced by the very few examples of these jars now in existence.
