1903 or 2003 - 5/4/2007 2:03:54 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Here is a question for you. Is this jar from 1903 or 2003? It has embossed on the bottom pat'd February 1003. Found it in the river, half burried. It does have a SCA tint to it. This is not a trick question.

They didn't have little plastic how do you get this damn thing open packages. I dug a million of those things in a 1/4 acre dump and finally showed one to my mom. She immediately recognized it. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 4

If it was 1703 it would have been flint glass or leaded glass. So,  what's the joke? _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 5

Actually, there is nothing to get, no joke. Just me asking about the jar and I didn't want anyone to think this was a trick quiz. _____________________________ (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 6
