Embossed “NE PLUS ULTRA, AIR-TIGHT FRUIT JAR/ MADE BY... - 8/14/2010 9:30:05 AM    mjl3688   Posts: 24 Joined: 8/7/2010 Status: offline Here is a “circles and squares”. pint size Bodine fruit jar. It seems to be a very valuable bottle with numbers in the thousands of dollars. Does anyone have any insight onto Bodine fruit jars and/or their monetary value? Thank you. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Nothing a little tumbling couldn't get rid of. I'll try to get a better picture. The slight depression on the lip is not a chip, just a nice rounded smooth perhaps defected lip. I'm not sure, but its definitely not a chip. How much do you all think it might be worth. Also, any information would be great. Thanks all. (in reply to slimspickens) Post #: 8

I would recomend that you do not tumble the jar as you may decrease the value. Let the ultimate owner make that choice. Pictures on a white surface and in sunlight would help a lot. Is the jar pontiled? It is very hard to tell in the picture. Either way, if the jar is not damaged, it would bring several thousand dollars. I would recommend screening the area where you found the jar to find the lid. If undamaged, the lid is worth a substantial amount. George (in reply to mjl3688) Post #: 9

That is very intriguing information. Thank you very much! (in reply to georgeoj) Post #: 10
