GROUND LIP CROWN HALF GALLONS
FISH HOOK.
This name has been applied by former collectors, it applies to the top hook on the letter C . Even though it is not like a fish hook and other jars look more like a fish hook I leave it .
At the top of the C the line comes down then squares off horizontally then goes back up to begin the letter C.
This jar is somewhat like the tall cross moulds .
BASE 1...10 - 10 pearls. The C is 15/16ths high and the other letters are 9/16ths with the O being 3/4's of an inch wide.
The word CROWN is a hair under 4 inches. The # 1 on the base is 1 inch. The base # can be seen while looking at the base with the embossing on the left.
This jar also comes as the eary THE / T.EATON CO / LIMITED / TORONTO .
BASE 2...11 - 11 pearls. Very similar to the base 1, but the word CROWN is a little shorter 3 & 15/16ths.
The base # is a swan like 2 and is seen when the jar is held looking at the base, with the embossing on the left .
The top pic is of the base # 1 , 10 - 10 . The next pic is of the T Eaton's that came on this mould.
JAGGED LINE.
The name for this jar comes from the zig zag line in the middle band of the Crown emblem .
NOTE . there are two sets of these Jagged line jars. This set I am sure is the older of the two. There is no line under the base number .
These jars have a line coming down at the top of the letter C , it does not however square off like the one above ( fish hook ) before it goes up to make the letter C.

TALL CROSS
These Tall Cross jars have a longer than normal bottom leg in the cross at the top of the Crown. The first one I list has no readable base number, yet because of the type of embossing of the letter C in Crown I believe it is a base 12. On some jars the downward hook on the letter C is hard to see .
