Canadian Beaver

[stonebottles]

I picked this jar up last night at an auction i think it was one of the first jars out of the mold, crisp beaver

[Bobbyc]

So what year would that be from?

How is it possible that some beavers face left? Was one of the molds defective or backwards or something?

And of course i 'd love to know how much you paid and then how much you think its worth?

I guess every fruit jar collector with a soft beaver would like to get a crisp one like that?

[stonebottles]

They were made by Ontario Glass Co in Kingsville 1899-1901 and then by Sydenham Glass Co in Wallaceburg until 1913

[Arob]

So how do beavers facing left happen?

[stonebottles]

i think it was to say look we (sydenham glass) are now making the beaver jar so they turned the beaver around when they took the contract over, some beaver jars that are facing left are machine made

[lucky]

you got to love a crisp beaver.
