Anybody seen this glass insert? - 8/29/2010 8:46:13 PM    rallcollector   Posts: 27 Joined: 2/8/2010 Status: offline Picked up a box of lids, and this was inside. Kinda driving me crazy because I can't find what jar this insert would go with. Went Redbook page for page in the c's, and still couldn't find it. Lettering surrounding the center logo reads, 'PAT'D MAY 26 1885 N.Y. SCREW TOP WORKS'. Anybody got any ideas? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Anybody seen this glass insert? - 8/30/2010 8:39:45 PM    rallcollector   Posts: 27 Joined: 2/8/2010 Status: offline ACME...Cool! Thanks for the help. I went into an antique store about a month ago, and there was about 10 common jars on a low shelf. This Atlas jar stuck out like a sore thumb. I thought to myself, 'that insert does not go with that jar.' Once I got close enough to almost pick the jar up, I had the insert ID'd. Oddly enough, it fits like a glove with this common Atlas jar. With the photo I posted, can anybody tell specifically what good insert this is? Attachment (1) (in reply to dygger60) Post #: 7

RE: Anybody seen this glass insert? - 8/31/2010 5:47:00 AM    rallcollector   Posts: 27 Joined: 2/8/2010 Status: offline My property has a billion pine trees. The previous owners abandoned growing grass several years ago, and I never even attempted to try. No Gary, it's not a Millville. Think more toward the end of the redbook.

RE: Anybody seen this glass insert? - 8/31/2010 7:10:21 PM    rallcollector   Posts: 27 Joined: 2/8/2010 Status: offline Yes, Van Vliet is correct. And I'm not kidding, you can turn the jar over without the zinc band and the Van Vliet lid will not come off, that's how well it fits. Somewhere, somebody canned with this combo once upon a time. I've looked over a ton of Ball and Atlas jars, picking up a few lugged lids along the way, but this was a rare for me glass insert find. Now, if I could just find that Atlas lid on top of a Van Vliet jar, I'm all set! Attachment (1) (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 12
