| Scarce, Hamilton & Jones 4 Star Wax Sealer Crock. Piece probably dates somewhere around the 1860's. In blue stencil the front of the Sealer says Hamilton & Jone and underneath has 4 Stars. Overall condition of this Crock is very good, especially for it's age. The Stencil and Stars are clear and legible with exception to a missing "S" in Jones and some slight wear to the blue on the "E" in Jones. There's also some light wear to one of the star point's to the far right star. You may also notice what I'm calling salt glaze residue that goes over a portion of the Star on the far right but as many of you probably know this is somewhat common and occured during the firing (manufacturing) process. I hate to even mention it but there is also the faintest hairline that runs up the Sealer from the bottom. I personally do not believe it will bother you but I just wanted to be complete in my description. The Sealer is very solid and sounds great. It measures about 8 1/4" in height and about 4 1/4" across the top. These Star Crocks are becoming more and more difficult to find and would make an outstanding addition to any Crock or Stoneware collection. Buyer to pay shipping & insurance. |
