HAWAII FOUND- GLASS JAR MORTON FIRST JAR FOR KAMEHAMEHA--FIRST RULER OF HAWAII. Condition is "Used".I PURCHASED THIS EXTREMELY UNIQUE AND SUPER RARE "MORTON SALT GLASS JAR--THOUGHT TO BE A GIFT TO KING KAMEHAMEHA FIRST RULER OF HAWAII FROM MORTON SALT COMPANY" ACCORDING TO WHAT I WAS INFORMED OF YEARS AND YEARS AGO FROM THE SELLER TO ME, THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD FIGURED SINCE THEY FOUND THIS JAR CLOSE TO WHERE THE KING LIVED AT THE TIME, BURRIED IN THE GROUND.
THIS JAR IS A BLUISH / GREEN JAR WITH A SEPERATE GLASS LID WITH SOME CHIPS SO LOOK CLOSE AT THE PIC'S TO HELP YOU SEE THE THE CONDITION OF THE GLASS LID AND JAR ITSELF.
DESCRIPTION: 6 3/4" TALL W LID , 6 3/8" W/O LID 3 7/8" WIDTH AT BOTTOM OF JAR NECK 2 1/2" WIDE LID 2 3/8" DEPTH OF LID 7/8" 1 CHIP BOTTOM OF GLASS RIM OF LID AND 1 ON THE TOP OF THE LID
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE LID THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAD A BAIL ON IT BUT NOT SURE, THERE WAS ALSO CORK SEAL THAT IS IN THE BOTTLE BROKEN IN PIECES AS WELL AS SOME OF THE ROCK SALT THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WAY THIS CAME AT THE TIME.
MORE INFORMATION: STRING YOU SEE AROUND THE NECK IS WHERE THE PAPER NOTE WAS WHEN I GOT IT AS YOU CAN SEE THAT HAD MORE INFO ABOUT THIS JAR AND IF I EVER FIND IT I WILL SEND IT ON TO THE BUYER. I HAVE NEVER CLEANED THE JAR UP INSIDE OT OUTSIDE, IT IS JUST AS I GOT IT YEARS AGO.
NOW TO THE FINAL INFORMATION: THE LETTERING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE JAR IS RAISED LETTERS SAYING AS FOLLOWS : FINE TABLE SALT FROM J.T. MORTON LEADENHALL STREET LONDON. THERE APPEARS TO BE 3 NUMBERS WHICH IS VERY HARD TO SEE THRU THE YEARS OF BUILDUP INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. KIND OF LOOKS LIKE 60 o LAST NUMBER LOOKS SMALLER THEN THE OTHER TWO NUMBERS.
LAST INFORMATION IS ABOUT THE FIRST RULER OR KING: KAMEHAMEHA THE GREAT OR RULER OR KING DATE'S FROM INFO I COULD FIND, 1736? MAY 8TH OR 14TH 1819 AND BIG ISLAND WAS WHERE HE WAS BORN AND RULED AS KING OR THE GREAT OR JUST RULER OF HAWAII !!!
A LOT OF RARE HISTORY BEHIND THIS JAR, IF ONLY IT COULD SPEAK--RIGHT !
