    Description

    This listing is for a Ball fruit jar in a scarce and attractive color, but it has some serious damage as well.  The patent date is July 14, 1908, which is embossed under IDEAL on the wall of the jar.  The lid does not match, but it isn't the typical aqua blue color.  This jar has two areas of damage.  One is a crack in the rim of the mouth that is visible on both sides, but you can only feel it from the outside.  The inside rim of the jar is smooth.  There is a huge chip to the bottom rim where a large sliver of glass is missing.  There are straw marks and air bubbles, but I don't see any other damage.  I have lots of collectible bottles and hundreds of antiques and collectibles listed in my store.  All of my items were found in estate sales and cleanouts on Cape Cod.  None of the items have been touched by the public, just stored in totes. All items have been stored for weeks or thoroughly washed.  I am in a low risk area and I am observing all precautions for virus protection.
    I TRY TO USE THE CHEAPEST RATE POSSIBLE ON USPS, using FIRST CLASS, MEDIA and PARCEL SELECT rates whenever I can. Books under one pound will always go First Class, because it's much faster than Media for only a little more money.  I get a great discount on Priority Mail from eBay, so often when I buy the label Priority is about the same as Parcel Select or the other Standard Mail rates.  If it only costs a little more, I will absorb the extra cost myself to get the free insurance with Priority and then I can use the free boxes they provide.  It won't cost you more than the Standard Mail rate listed for your purchase. If you want Priority to speed delivery, you can always ask for that option, and I am likely to refund a small amoumnt of postage when I buy the label through eBay and get my discount.  Priority is much faster, no doubt.  I pack carefully, and fragile items will always be in an ample-sized, sturdy box with lots of bubble wrap and foam peanuts used.  I always use recycled peanuts, and when the virus is over, I will go back to using sturdy used boxes whenever I can.  I only use USPS, because FedEx and UPS have told me at their offices here on Cape Cod that they WILL NOT insure antiques and collectibles.  I have had 22 years of excellent service from USPS, with only a few problems out of thousands and thousands of packages sent.
