Lot 628: Fenway Candy Company Glass Jar, c. 1915

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $300.00

Price Realized: $516.10
Auction Date:4/28/2006 9:00 PM EST

This outstanding Fenway Candy Co. glass jar comes from the area around Fenway Park, and dates from the early days of the hallowed home of the Red Sox. With a height of 12" and a diameter of 4 3/4", the hefty aqua-colored vessel is free of cracks, chips or haze. The raised lettering is bold and well-struck, and completely free of wear. Apart from a few very superficial scratches, the jar is as nice as the day it was made, and earns a solid EX-MT rating. The candy inside is gone, perhaps to energize the Red Sox fans and players of almost a century ago. The jar looks empty, but is most certainly filled with memories.
