Antique Cunningham & Ihmson Pittsburgh Pennsylvania applied top wax seal jar. For Sale

This antique jar from Cunningham & Ihmson, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a must-have for collectors of early fruit jars. The jar features a unique applied top wax seal that adds to its charm.

This is a quart sized jar. The embossing is pretty good on the base but it does have a small lip chip that is shown in the last photo. Other than that the jar was dug and may need some additional cleaning or a tumble depending on how clean you prefer your jars.

The bottle type of this item is a jar, and it falls under the category of collectibles, bottles & insulators, bottles, antique (pre-1900), and jars. This antique jar is a good find and an excellent addition to any collection.

Almost every bottle I have for sale is dug. Dug bottles are never in mint condition. They usually have at least one of the following issues if not all of them.

Scratches

Flea bites (tiny chips that you have to look really hard for that are often seen on the lips of bottles).

Haze/staining

Casewear

Tiny bruises

By making an offer/purchasing any bottles I have listed I'm assuming you've read what I wrote and acknowledge that there are likely 1 or more of the following issues listed above.

I do my best to mention cracks,  chips, and bruises. But am not going over my bottles with a magnifying glass as it isn't worth my time. As a collector myself, I understand that damage is a deal breaker on some bottles, but the extent of the damage is also important, which is why I'm just going to say that all my bottles have the minor things that I listed above, but will describe any cracks, chips or bruises that are found when examining the bottle or bottles before listing.

$20 + shipping is my bottom $ with most bottles on here as any less than that isn't worth my time as fe takes out fees on what I make, then they take out fees on what the post office makes when I don't even make anything off the shipping.

When it comes to the shipping I use priority mail. Yes there are cheaper rates from sellers who own a printer; I do not. I get free labels and boxes using priority so I'm sticking with that unless someone donates a printer to me.

If you live in the western states and shipping is above $22 for multiple bottles, or above $17 for single pint sized or smaller bottles message me and I will switch from a priority box to a medium or large flat rate box to save you some money.

I can do better on price for those who are buying multiple small to medium bottles as I can combine the shipping. As stated $20 is my bottom $ on most bottles on here, but if there are multiple listings you'd be interested in purchasing, I can most likely go cheaper if they're small to medium bottles. I can fit up to four pint beer or soda bottles in one box. I can fit even more smaller bottles in one box. If that's what you're wanting to do please message me before making any offers so that I can edit the listings to where I can give you the best deals.

If you are planning on doing a local pickup I can give you a better deal than I would someone who I'd have to ship to, so feel free to message about that if that's what you're wanting to do. Please select the local pickup option rather than paying for the shipping because I do not know how to refund the shipping costs if it's paid for on my end. I do not give cash refunds due to a new tax law. So you will have to go through and figure it out on your own if you pay for the shipping.

Thanks for reading!!
