This is a crazy Canadian Beaver jar.  Non collectors wouldn't have any idea but every collector knows about the rare "Beaver facing Left" jar.  The Beaver jars were fairly popular in Canada and they're not hard to find, but on the vast majority of them the Beaver is facing right.

As far as I know, all of the beaver facing left jars are machine made midgets.  I've heard rumors of quarts and there is one listed in the Red Book but I've never seen one and nobody I know has seen one either.  Whether or not they exist in quarts, this is a midget.  I'm not even sure that this jar comes in clear but it does turn up in a standard amber.  This is the only one I've ever seen in this color and I bet its the only one that exists in this color.  In my mind, that makes it the king of Canadian jars.  It's really well embossed and no damage.

This jar affords me to say something about foreign jars.  Most of the collectors in the USA collect primarily American jars.  They seem to be most common here, but there are many foreign countries with significant numbers of jars.  Canada is probably first on that list (at least from the perspective of an American collector such as myself).  Canada doesn't have lots of crazy closures or colors but there are definitely collectors devoted specifically to Canadian jars (most of them are Canadian as you might imagine).  The most famous Canadian jars are probably the Beavers although the most common is probably one of the manay variations on Crown jars.

Another contender for a big jar country is Australia.  Australian jars tend to have a common look - big jars with thick glass and big bold embossing, often with a figural.  Again, there are passionate collectors devoted to just that hobby.

Other countries have a few jars to a lesser degree - notably France and England.
