Size: GALLON sized advertising/promotional jar
Color: AQUAMARINE
Closure: Rare (or possibly unique) large original unlined zinc cap with two soldered lugs on top and stamped circle on top that reads "TRADE MARK SMS CO ALWAYS RELIABLE". Possibly the first example of this lid to come to light (in any size). The cap has some crushing in the zinc threads, but no holes or splits in the zinc, and could be restored to perfection if desired.
Appearance: shiny
Condition: chip out of the threads, but no cracks emanating, and not visible at all with the cap in place
Strength of embossing: strong
Base: unmarked
Age: c1865-1870, probably the earliest known oversize Mason
Availability: Extremely rare oversize Beehive Mason. This jar was recently discovered complete with the lid at a general antiques shop in the state of Texas.
