Description: Free USA & Canada tracked shipping for this quart size antique GEM fruit jar. It measures 7¼ inches high with lid and all by 3¾ inches in diameter at the base, the glass is in excellent shiny condition but it does have some surface scratches mentioned for accuracy. It also has some lip chipping; it is hidden by the zinc collar and pictured. It has no cracks. It is embossed on the base 'Pat. Nov. 20. 67 / 8' It has been irradiated to give it its beautiful purple/plum color (an artificial process that turns antique clear glass in a beautiful deep amethyst/purple/plum colored glass, it is about the equivalent of decades of glass overexposure to the ultra violet rays of the sun; the manganese which is one of the key ingredients that they used to take to get clear glass prior to 1910 reacts and becomes dark amethyst/purple/plum in color, actually very few jars have manganese in them and most are over 100 years old. Please take note that the color is not flashed on the glass nor applied, it is derived from the natural chemicals in the glass.). It comes with a nice purple lid; not sure if it is the original one but it fits perfectly. It's in good condition with no chips or cracks but it does have sort of a dull surface; pictured.
