<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 3960759, member: 56"]Thanks! Quite pleased by that. I've already done some rewriting and will have to take a couple more pics. From the description on that site, I think this is a Mold 2 jar, probably after the first rework. The length of the word THE, from the top outer corner of the T to the top outer corner of the E, is 3 1/8”. The length of the word IMPERIAL, from the bottom outside corner of the I to the right outside corner of the leg on the L, is 6 1/4”. I’m guessing this to be after the first rework because there is a center circle in the O (very faint), which apparently was not present with the first initial run, and there was re-engraving at the first rework. By my measure, the line of the heel is less than 1/2” ( more like 3/8”) up the side of the jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Talk about minutiae!</p><p><br /></p><p>(I did consider that that letter might be a G, but obviously was not convinced and didn't search.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
