I got antother Wax sealer for my collection today - 12/4/2011 12:36:26 AM    jskirk Posts: 840 Joined: 3/22/2010 Status: offline I picked up this nice Green very crude Wax sealer today, it is embossed STAR GLASS Co. NEW ALBANY, IND. I think this is an early one with a pontil mark on the base, I am guessing from 1870 -1880. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I think your right on the mfg. time frame, but I'm not sure that's a pontil mark. Could it just be some defect from mfg.? (in reply to jskirk) Post #: 4

Now the Toulouse book indicates that they may have started as early as 1855 up to 1900 and they also made the weir jars. The book also indicates that the jars were " very crudely handmade round with pressed laid-on-ring" Nice find either way!!! (in reply to jskirk) Post #: 6

Leybourne jr with Alice Creswick as contributing editor. There is a more extensive book on fruit jars (The Standard Fruit Jar Reference, by Dick Roller) but its way out of my price range!!!
