Basement Cleanout- Old Jars - 1/22/2012 1:57:06 PM    Bottles r LEET   Posts: 981 Joined: 2/12/2011 From: Plainfield, New Hampshire Status: offline In the house that we are cleaning out, there are a bunch of old canning jars. Some of them are the old fashion ones with the glass lids. Does anything catch your eye? I can zoom in. I want to save the good ones from the dumpster. The problem is, they are all full.

Sometimes it's really hard to get the glass lid off the rubber seal after many years, a knife or utility knife blade comes in handy for that. I've gotten large quantities of these a couple timesfrom cellar cleanouts...back the truck up to the compost pile, open and dump. (in reply to MichaelFla) Post #: 8

We also found some vintage 1980s Spagettios cans, they were crystalized. I'm not eating them! < Message edited by Bottles r LEET -- 1/22/2012 5:28:08 PM > _____________________________ Ryan MacLeay Looking for 'Vehicles in the Bush' pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Old-Truck/m-476657/tm.htm Also looking for Abandoned House pictures. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Abandoned-House/m-495368/tm.htm (in reply to Wheelah23) Post #: 10
