    Description

    Hello!  Welcome to my auction!  It is
    JAR COLLECTING TIME!
    I have listed for auction an ORIGINAL BALL BROTHERS GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY SUN COLORED AMETHYST (SCA) "IMPROVED" QUART SIZED FRUIT JAR made 1910-1923!  This JAR has NO DAMAGE LIKE CRACKS, CHIPS, FLAKES or ISSUES THAT WOULD GREATLY AFFECT IT'S USE & VALUE!  This FINE OLD JAR LOOKS HARDLY USED.
    It has a VERY LIGHT MOLD LETTER "V" on the BASE in the center of the valve mark.  This is a RED BOOK NUMBER 220-5 and it comes with a BALL ZINC/STEEL RIM LID & AMETHYST GLASS LID.  ALSO, this JAR has the "DROPPED A" and "DROPPED R".
    It has been over 100 years since these were made and only God knows how many have been lost in Floods, Tornadoes and Hurricanes or shot by kids with BB-Guns.  This is YOUR chance to ENHANCE your collection!  This JAR was made in several colors, with the most being made in BALL BLUE,
    CLEAR &
    LIGHT GREEN and SUN COLORED AMETHYST is one of the rarer colors.  "SCA" AMETHYST JARS turned purple from exposure to sunlight due to MANGANESE being present in the sand, which was turned to glass and not all clear/flint glass has manganese in the glass; so, only a few turned AMETHYST.  Back in the first half of the twentieth century, many farmers stored their empty jars upside down on FENCE POSTS, which is how they were exposed to an excessive amount of sunlight.  This JAR has the HELIX NECK FINISH and it actually has the QUAD HELIX or 4 HELIX LINES.  YOU might be able to make them out in picture number #11; but I will try to post another picture.  The HELIX FINISH makes this JAR even RARER!
    Shipping to the United States of America is .95 and Shipping anywhere else in the world please wait for an invoice.  Thanks for stopping by and looking!  If the SHIPPING COST IS LESS THAN WHAT I AM CHARGING, I WILL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE through PAYPAL.  QUESTIONS APPRECIATED and PROMPTLY ANSWERED.  I wrap the jar in several layers of bubble wrap and pack it in packing peanuts in a well taped box!
