DescriptionFrom the sales record: A fabulous tiny 1/4 gal jar from McKay's noted cheap cash store Milton, Ontario. A whopping seven lines of incised writing. I love that the brothers felt the need to fully list both their names. Just under 7" tall. Near mint with the tiniest flake off the rim. This is the second time I've had the privilege of selling this exact jar. One of the best 1/4 gals you will ever see!
