Auction 26 - Lots 11 to 20

11	Erie Lightning Quart Ground Lip. Red Book #942-1. The mate to the previous lot but a quart size. Pale amethyst glass. Ground lip. Excellent condition. One 1/4 chip in the lip. A 1/2 inch area on the rim where the lip was not ground at all. The body of the jar is near mint. Very heavy glass. Some internal stain towards the base. A beautiful heavy jar! Original style lid in stained but good condition. Opening Bid: $500 Estimated Range: $800-1,000 Lot not sold.
12	Canada Compass Pint. Red Book #554. This is a superb example of a very rare Canada Compass pint. The glass colour is a pale but bright green. Attic mint condition! A sparkler! Clean ground lip. Perfect body gloss. Three lines in the glass on the left side. These are simply mould effects that are nearly as heavy as the seam lines. Original domed lid. Large burst bubble in the lid but otherwise mint. Certainly one of the best pints in the sale! Opening Bid: $750 Estimated Range: $1,000-1,500 Sold for $800.
13	Canada Compass Half Gallon. Red Book #554. An extremely crude example of a scarce half gallon size Canada Compass jar. The glass was raw the day this baby was made! Full of bubbles. Orange peel like texture. Pockmarks and swirls galore. Excellent condition. Two potstones on the front. One just below the second A in Canada. Around the white postone is a three petal shaped bruise. The second potstone is just to the left and down from the word Trademark. At centre is a white potstone out from which is a tight star shaped crack and a 1/4 inch bruise. The lip is very roughly ground with one 1/2 inch long flake. While technically damaged on account of the potstones, this is clearly in-manufacture and only to be expected given the highly crude quality of the glass. Domed insert with concentric circles - near mint. A gorgeous jar with character to spare! Opening Bid: $400 Estimated Range: $700-800 Sold for $600.
14	Canada Compass Quart. Red Book #554. A nice example of the quart size Canada Compass. The right side has a distinct dent and the glass has a slightly orange peel quality which gives the jar some character. Excellent condition. Well ground lip with three flakes each about 1/4 inch. Nice clean aqua glass. The embossing is a bit faint as it is on most of these jars. Domed glass insert in mint condition. Opening Bid: $300 Estimated Range: $500-$600 Sold for $300.
15	Coronet Half Gallon. Red Book #658. Sometimes a bit of inpurity in the glass makes a big difference. This dark amethyst half gallon Coronet is a perfect example. Running down the face and into the crown is the most amazing heavy milk glass swirl. A band of this milkglass spins round the middle of the jar. Spectacular! This is the variant of the Coronet where you can clearly see that a more elaborate crown top was peened out. Beautiful clean glass with many large round bubbles. Amethyst plain lid with large 3/4 inch bruise. Unpriced in the Red Book. Ex. Ken Judges Collection. Originally purchased in an antique store in Northern, Ontario. Nice find! Opening Bid: $400 Estimated Range: $600-800 Lot not sold.
16	Coronet Quart. Red Book #658. A quart size mate to the previous lot in a gorgeous dark amethyst. Near mint condition with a bit of internal stain towards the base. A beautiful jar in near mint condition. Opening Bid: $100 Estimated Range: $150-200 Lot not sold.
17	Pansy Dark Yellow. Red Book #2287. Colour is king and this quart Pansy is the most beautiful dark yellow! Breath-taking! Near mint condition. Well ground lip with one flat flake about 1/4 inch long. Very clean jar with excellent gloss. A bit of faint scratching around the shouler. The ghosted "BEST" is visible behind the embossing. Near mint lid in a different but equally nice colour - sort of a smoky medium amber. A jar that stands out on a shelf. What a beauty!! Opening Bid: $400 Estimated Range: $700-800 Sold for $700.
18	Pansy Dark Amber Quart. Red Book #2287. The mate to the previous lot but in a nice dark orange amber. Excellent condition! Well ground lip with two 1/4 inch grinding flakes. Exceptionally clean jar with the lightest (and cleanable) internal stain. Perfect matching insert and band. A great jar in a deep amber. Opening Bid: $300 Estimated Range: $500-600 Lot not sold.
19	Best Amber Quart. Red Book #453. A stunning example of an orange amber quart Best. Gorgeous colour! Heavily whittled. Well ground thin lip with two 1/4 inch flakes off the inside edge. Very light glass. Perfect colour matched lid. Two burst bubbles on the insert and a bit of stain. The best Best you are likely to encounter. Opening Bid: $250 Estimated Range: $400-500 Sold for $250.
20	Best Amber Quart. Red Book #453. A dark orange amber Best quart. Excellent condition. Well ground lip with two very thin flakes on the outside lip edge, one 1/4 the other slightly larger. Very clean glass. Perfect matching lid insert in mint condition. Very nice jar! Opening Bid: $200 Estimated Range: $400-500 Sold for $200.
