RE: Hemingrey group shot. - 8/10/2008 9:39:28 PM    georgeoj   Posts: 101 Joined: 6/30/2007 Status: offline Bryan, The center one is the Hemingrey made jar. All of the jars date from about 1860 plus or minus a few years. The first jar is known as a petal jar and was sealed with a cork and wax. The center jar had a unmarked, shallow, cup shaped, glass lid that was sealed with wax. The last jar probably used a tin coated lid similar to the one that I have on the jar. It would have been sealed with wax as well. The first and last jars are iron pontiled. All of the jars are whittled and prime examples. I have been very lucky to find them.
