Description: Free USA & Canada Tracked shipping for this antique WALLACEBURG GEM fruit jar in the half gallon size. It measures approximately 9 inches high with lid and all by 4¼ inches in diameter at the base. The glass is in nice shiny condition with no chips or cracks but it does have some slight surface scratches and some edge roughness. There is also a tiny side lip chip which is hidden by the glass top and the zinc band; all pictured and mentioned for accuracy. It has been irradiated to give it its beautiful deep purple color (an artificial process that turns antique clear glass in a beautiful deep 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 colored lid which is in excellent condition with some edge roughness.
