SF Hess stoneware?

There is nothing written on the bottom. There is no tobacco staining or smell in the jar. Any value?

not a lot :-) It's appeal is to a small base, it's cracked (right under the display side where the company name is), not overly historically significant, and lacks any real graphic elements. That being said - I have quite a few such items that I enjoy displaying with some core elements of my "accumulation". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are no rules. Fairly sure I've seen one of these before but suffering from CRS & TMS - too much s*** and can't keep track of it all. Think 75. - 125. if it wasn't cracked within the ballpark but i'm no expert in this - or much else.

no guarantees whether written or implied

A crack or chip in any crock makes it worth a whole lot less to crock collectors from worthless to only about 10% of what they might pay for an uncracked crock, but this one could get interest from vintage tobacco collectors or 19th century baseball card collectors to increase its value. Neat item either way.

Thanks for the help.
