Bliss patent 1851 tin can
« on: August 07, 2013, 12:57:52 pm »
I have an bliss patents 1851 tin can. In my fruit jar red book they have the quart size priced at $100-$200 but this one seems much larger that a quart, almost like a half gallon. It is 9 inches tall and 5 1/8 inches across the bottom. Can anyone tell me if they have heard of or seen larger sized bliss patent 1851 cans like this and any idea of the value.
