Canadian Jewel Early 1900s Half Gallon – A True Rarity
A Rare Canadian Treasure
Step back in time with the Canadian Jewel Half Gallon, a truly hard-to-find vintage gem from the early 1900s. Produced exclusively in Canada, Jewel jars are far rarer than their Improved Gem counterparts, making this 1.71L glass beauty a prized piece for collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike.
With its smooth, crystal-clear glass and gracefully embossed script logo, this jar is a stunning addition to any kitchen, pantry, or display. Whether used for bulk storage, dry goods, or as a striking décor piece, the Canadian Jewel Half Gallon is as functional as it is historic.
Why You’ll Love It:
✔ Exceptionally Rare Early 1900s Jar – More elusive than standard Gem jars.
✔ Generous Half-Gallon Capacity – Ideal for storing flour, oats, or heirloom recipes.
✔ Classic Embossed Script Logo – "Canadian Jewel – Made in Canada."
✔ Gem Mouth Versatility – Compatible with vintage and modern gem lids.
For those who appreciate true vintage craftsmanship, the Canadian Jewel Half Gallon is more than a jar—it’s a piece of Canadian history waiting to be cherished.
