I would suspect that several glass houses made them as replacements. The origanals all had a ray pattern on them. The jars are pretty and aqua jars start around 75 bucks but they can be had cheaper with a little bartering. Shouldn't have sold mine. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to coreya) Post #: 3

(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline Great old jar and really cool closure...If anything were to hook me towards collecting fruit jars, it would be the great array of colors, and the sometimes downright weird closures and lids... I can see why often the correct lid makes for a lot of the value. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to KBbottles) Post #: 5
