Up for auction, we are offering a beautifully whittled vintage aqua quart fruit jar embossed, THE GEM (one line).  The jar is embossed on the bottom with several pat dates, PAT DEC 17 61, REIS SEPT 1 68 (on the outside edge), PATD NOV 26 1867 (on the inside circle), and mold number 34 in the center. The jar has a ground glass lip with a tight-fitting zinc band and aqua glass insert embossed with several patent dates and a number 10 in the center raised portion of the insert.  The jar measures about 7&1/4 inches tall with lid and is listed in Red Book #1068.

The jar is in very good condition with no cracks.  There is some minor roughness and flea bites along with one more significant chip (outside edge) around the edge of the ground lip.  The jar is nicely whittled with a bit of junk in the glass, potstones, and open onion skin bubbles (on the inside).  In addition, there are light scratches in the glass.  The glass insert is in very good condition with some minor roughness on the inside and outside edge with a few small chips.  The zinc metal band is in good, solid condition with minor spots of corrosion.  See pictures for overall condition as they are part of the description.

All items come from a smoke-free home and are sold as is.
