unkfx415jds650 Here is a vintage, quart milk jar, embossed Absolutely Pure Milk (large picture of a man milking a cow) The Milk Protector. Embossed on back in slug plate: To Be Used Only As Designated. Milk & Cream Jar. Embossed on base: Thatcher MFG Co. Potsdam, N.Y. This is an original, vintage, circa 1886-1890, Thatcher milk jar. Complete with original glass lid embossed: Pat'd. April 23, '86. Also has original metal clamp to hold on the glass lid. Hard to find complete like this. Guaranteed original, not a reproduction. Nice one, looks great on the shelf. Insurance costs are included in the postage costs on this listing. Note in the last pictures there is a quart and a pint Thatcher milk jar shown. This listing is ONLY for the QUART size jar. See my other listings for the PINT size jar which is being sold separately. Condition: Jar is Very Good, very nice with just a tiny bit of light wear and some slight inside haze that might wash out, minor. Jas has NO chips, cracks or dings. See pictures above. The glass lid is original. The lid has a small chip on the underside and some wear from use. See pictures above. Metal clamp has some light oxidation. The jar was slightly under-blown as you can see on the left side of the slug plate on the back of the jar - there is a slight indentation there - this is how the jar was made, it is NOT post manufacturing damage. All in all, I grade this one an 8.5+ on a scale of 1 to 10. Great for the collector of EARLY milk dairy farm cow milk cream creamer creamery butter bottle bottles jar jars.SEE MY OTHER LOTS OF BOTTLES AND GOOD ITEMS ON EBAY PRESENTLY.
