Putnam Lightning Jar

This is a 7-3/4" tall green Putnam Lightning jar whose 3-1/4" diameter bottom says “Putnam,” “Trade Mark,” “181,” and “Lightning,” all in raised lettering. The 2-7/8" diameter glass lid says “Mason’s Improved” around the top edge, and “Patented May 20, 1870" around the bottom edge. I’ve never seen a Putnam without a wire bale closure, but if this one ever had one, there’s absolutely no indication of it on either the bottle or the lid. No little holes in the neck, no scratches, and no indentation on the lid top where a wire would have fit. So I wonder how it sealed – paraffin? Both the jar and its lid are in excellent condition with no nicks, chips, or cracks, but plenty of nifty little air bubbles in the glass. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
