How often have those of us who enjoy such things have read in a Civil War soldier’s letter, a page from a winter camp journal or other first-hand life account, where the writer phrases the arrival of a carefully got up package of home preserves, or has lamented the fact that he received such but alas the glass preserve jar had been broken in transit? This offering of a quart size preserve jar, boldly marked MILLVILLE ATMOSPHERIC FRUIT JAR on one side and WHITALL’S PATENT JUNE 18th 1861 on the other will make a wonderful companion piece in any Civil War collection and will go especially well in any winter camp, medical and sanitary fair grouping. Much more difficult to find than the more common MASON preserve jar of the period, this nicely marked and dated jar retains its equally well marked and dated glass lid with its cast iron lid clamp. All in nice condition with that pretty light aqua bubbled glass, the jar remains in fine condition with no chips. A scarce collectable complete with original components each as collectable as the jar its self. An exceptional example of period everyday life seldom seen today. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! |
