"The Sanitary Freezer" Ice Cream Jar out of Hartford, Connecticut

Description

This is the second Ice Cream jar that I am selling.  The first was the "Fox" jar out of Bangor, Maine.  This one I believe is from the Consolidated Mfg., Co. out of Hartford, Connecticut.  The only embossing is on the base around the porcelain stopper that says "Patented Feb. 14, 1899".  The spring wire closure is different than the job and there are more "ribs" encircling the jar (8 on this one versus 5 on the "Fox").  And the lid is styled differently as well.  The jar is about 8.25" tall from base to top of lid (excluding wire closure).
From the George H. Fox patent:
.My invention relates to a mold principally designed for molding ice-cream or other articles into ornamental designs.
The mold comprises an outer receptacle and an inner receptacle disposed in the outer receptacle, the inner receptacle being removable after the material is molded and the outer receptacle being adapted to serve as a jar for containing the molded material after the molding and shaping thereof. The outer receptacle is adapted to form a storage-jar, which may be square, hexagonal, octagonal, or of any other desired shape in cross-section, and the inner receptacle may be of any desired design. In the use of the mold for shaping and storing ice-cream absolute cleanliness is secured, which is not always the case in the use of the ordinary tin mold. No Water can get into the jar and spoil or injure its contents, as is often the case with the common molds. The cream is not exposed to the air until the moment of serving, while in the old brick form it is usually out upon a serving-dish and it is melting before serving. If any part of the cream is not used, the stopple and cover can be replaced, the jar repacked in ice, and the cream kept for future use. There is absolutely no danger or liability of poisoning. In using the forms one, two, three, or more kinds and colors of cream can be packed in a jar, and various designs-such as a diamond, star, heart, crescent, initial letter, and the like may be placed through the center of a jar of cream. In removing the ordinary mold from the ice it has to be dug out, while my improved jar may be lifted out of the ice by the bail without Wetting the hands. The cream after being thoroughly hardened Will keep firm in the jar for an hour or more after being taken out of the ice.
The jar and its false bottom or disk and cover are preferably made of glass, while the cover= gasket and stopple are made of rubber, cork, or other suitable material. The spring lock-bail is made of any suitable spring metal.
In great condition with no major chips, cracks, or bruises, etc.
