Antique Grand Valley Colorado Advertising Stoneware Beater Jar Crock
Here we have an early 1900's advertising beater jar. The cobalt blue advertising, WHEN BEATING - THINK OF EATING - PURE FOOD GROCERIES - FROM - THE GRAND VALLEY LUMBER & SUPPLY CO. Grand Valley in Colorado is now called Parachute and is found in Garfield County. History has it that the town was first named Parachute and in 1908 was switched to Grand Valley to lure people into the town on their way to the Grand Valley. And in the 1980's was switched back to Parachute.
It measures just under 5" tall x 4 1/2" across. This jar is in excellent condition with the only mentions being a little wear on the inside bottom from the beater, not bad though, and a factory chip on the backside bottom edge, there is glaze ran into, so definitely done during the making. It could use a little cleaning, but there is no post factory damage, no cracks, hairlines, or repairs. The blue adv. is guaranteed to be old and original, under the glaze, factory made.
The upper lip of the beater jar is a little different than others that I have seen. It has the rounded inside like those of Red Wing, but this is unsigned and could not find this particular jar in any of my books.
