The product is an antique Swayzee\'s Improved Mason half gallon jar in a beautiful aqua blue color, regular mouth size and zinc milk-glass porcelain lid.
This HG jar originally had IMRROVED and the first R was corrected with a large dot mold repair (see picture).Condition: The half gallon jar has a hair line crack which I have circled in green on the picture.The jar was made by the Swayzee Glass Company, which operated in Swayzee, Indiana (and later Marion, Indiana) before being sold to the Ball Corporation in 1906.
Produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (c. 1895 – 1906). Features embossed lettering reading \"SWAYZEE\'S IMPROVED MASON\". They are commonly found in aqua blue or deep aqua. They are handblown so they have characteristics like side seams, bubbles in the glass, and a shoulder seal meant to be used with a zinc cap (such as a Boyd\'s cap).Some info was obtained from Redbook number 13 The Collectors Guide to Old Fruit Jars page 425 2782-2.
