By "pickle" I mean any type of food which could be sold in a container like this.. a paper label would have described the contents. They are only worth a couple dollars, I'm sorry to say.

Excellent photos, sir. What are the dimensions of that guy? It's an early machine made jar. Might be a mustard, or a pickled product jar, maybe even tomato something or other. Made in the first quarter of the 20th Century. Valuwise, not so much, as it is machine made and unembossed. (in reply to bloodyerk) Post #: 5

Hey Scott, Most likely a metal cap, though it would have worked with a cork. (in reply to bloodyerk) Post #: 7
