Included in this lot we have a original Mercantile Cigar Co glass jar and tin lid with a collection of antique glass marbles. The jar displays glass construction with embossed lettering across the exterior. The jar is marked "Mercantile (Air-Tight) Havana Cigars St. Louis, Mo. Patented Dec. 11 - 94. Patented Nov 13-94 Jan 15-95". The tin lid is designed for a similar, but smaller mercantile glass jar. The lid is marked in embossed lettering reading "FR Rice Mercantile Cigar Co Manufacturers St. Louis. MO Patented Nov 13th 1894 Dec 11 1894 JAn. 15-95". The glass jar is filled half way full with antique glass marbles showing a number of styles and patterns. The collection shows good condition overall with some light wear due to age. The piece measures 6" tall by 5 1/4" in diameter.
