If you are buying jars on Ebay, beware.......... I purchase a QT Mason's Cross Patent Nov. 30th, 1858. Here is the link to the original listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221357884054?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649It appears to be a deep green jar, almost emerald in color, HOWEVER, the seller is taking photos at steep angles, using flash and does not post the jars with natural light behind them. I politely have contacted this seller, asking to return, since it is at best a Green/Aqua or Light Apple Green jar, having NO OLIVE Color in it at all. I even attached the following photos from jars in my own collection sitting next to the Ebay listed jar to educate them on what the jar's TRUE COLOR is, and recommend how to take photos so that collectors, like us, will know what they are bidding upon.I have attached the photos for everyone to see and hope that the seller, in this case, does the correct thing and accepts the return. The jar they sent me is on the far left in this photo. My jars from left to right are Straw Yellow, Light Olive and Olive Yellow.If you do bid on this person's jars, be sure to request a photo with natural light behind the jars............ Otherwise, Caveat Emptor........ Best of Luck
