A 3" tall cylinder-shaped beautiful PURE PURPLE AMETHYST colored antique LARKIN CO. COSMETIC Cold Cream JAR.  This is a very early mold blown jar (ABM), dating back over 100 YEARS old.

  • Jar embossed on front: "LARKIN CO. / BUFFALO ".   Likewise the tin cap is embossed "LCo / LARKIN CO. / BUFFALO / U.S.A. "

  • Condition:   This jar is in PRISTINE SPARKLING CLEAN condition. It has an open bubble on the very top of the lip, which was done in making and is also covered with the lid.  It has NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc.  The tin lid is quite worn and corroded, it even has a small hole in it.   BUT most importantly it is the ORIGINAL tin lid and it fits the jar perfectly, good enough to make the jar look 'complete', (see photos for overall condition of jar AND lid). 

  • Age:  An ABM mold-blown jar with a screw-top, ca early1900's .

  • Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do NOT insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.

An exceptionally SPARKLING CLEAN antique cosmetic COLD CREAM jar.    It is difficult to even find one of these Larkin Cosmetic jars that is early enough to turn purple!   With few exceptions, only glass made prior to 1914 will even turn purple.  About this deep purple color ... we all have heard bits and pieces about how old antique glass will turn a nice amethyst lavender color when exposed to the sun? In the antique world, this is referred to as SCA or Sun Colored Amethyst glass. Well this is true, exposure to the ultra violet sun rays triggers a chemical reaction and the minerals oxidize and turn a wonderful lavender color. We had a friend of ours accelerate the sun color purple process by running this jar through an industrial food sterilizer which has the same affect as the sun, but a lot faster.   Not only does this deep purple/amethyst color make this a great looking jar, but it also authenticates it as being truly antique!    This bottle has a translucent purple color as it is so sparkling clean, the purple color just glows with the sunlight streaming through it, check it out!
