Description: Free USA & Canada shipping for this antique quart size Queen fruit jar that measures approximately 8 inches high with lid and all by 3½ inches wide at the base. The glass is in excellent shiny condition with no chips or cracks but does have some very minor surface scratches and wear on the base; mentioned for accuracy. It is embossed on the base 'Smalley / Kivlan / Onthank / Boston'. It has been irradiated to give it its beautiful purple color (an artificial process that turns antique clear glass in a beautiful amethyst/purple 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 in color, actually very few fruit 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 deep purple glass lid which is in excellent condition. Taxes are applicable to all Canadian buyers, some US buyers are also subject to applicable taxes depending in which State you live in; please buy accordingly. All other countries are tax free!
