Hamilton No. 1 Cork Sealer

This corker style numbered Hamilton jars are extremely rare in this smallest imperial pint size. This is the same bottle that was in our Auction 26. We had it tumbled to remove some of the heavy stain. The glass is clearer but remains deeply etched by heavy harsh soil. The embossing is quite weak. The word "HAMILTON" is quite clear but the number and word "GLASSWORKS" are nearly invisible. Note we have lowered the minimum bid. The only damage to this jar apart from the etching is a tiny bruise in the lip edge 1/8". The etching certainly gives this bottle a crude look and a rough feel. These jars are very pricey when mint. Here is your chance to have one for a reasonable price.

Rare Midget STAR pint.

There are a few iconic Canadian jars and the Star is certainly one. Quart and half gallons are relatively common. The midget pint is extremely rare.

This is a stunning example of the midget pint in an icy aqua glass. Redbook 2718. Near mint condition. Well ground lip with only the slightest roughness. Gorgeous clean glass with only the tiniest bit of stain. Heavily embossed star and word. Ghosted mold error - SATR.

Crude glass with plenty of impurities. The line visible at front is a heavy line in the glass and not a crack. There is a second heavy line on the left side seam. Also a huge bubbled at rear. You will look a long-time to find one better! A stunning midget pint.

Opening Bid: $400

Estimated Range: $700-800

Midget Pint Clear Beaver.

A great example of a clear midget pint Beaver. The embossed animal is notoriously weakly embossed on most of these jars, but this one is quite good. Near mint condition with just a wisp of stain. Very heavy mouth that is perfectly ground. A good jar in rare condition.

Pair of Montreal Coffee and Spice Jars.

The Montreal Coffee & Spice bottles are among the more attractive Canadian figural product jars. The common style is drum shaped with ribs at shoulder and base. This bottle is 6 1/2" tall and 4 1/8" in diameter across the base.

The smaller bottle in this lot is a rare variant. Instead of the ribbing on the shoulder, it is embossed EWING HERRON & Co.

Both of these jars are near mint. A rare opportunity to add excellent examples of both variants to your collection.
