I never gave a jam about jars. - 8/18/2010 12:18:30 AM    blobbottlebob Posts: 3356 Joined: 12/20/2005 From: Wisconsin Status: offline Until now, I guess. I'm wondering about this shard. Is it a crier or could it have been common. The inside has a wide ledge (presumably for sealing it). Is this a wax seal example? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Strikes me as crude and old old. Attachment (1) (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 2

It appears that the closure for this particular jar could have been any of the following 3 types: 1) Cork sealed with wax 2) Kline stopper 3) Willoughby Stopple (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 3

Anybody recognize this as similar to something they have?? BTW - What is a Kline stopper? I think I have seen the Willoughby on here. I believe that is like a compression ring thingy.

Thanks for showing yours. I think I could start liking jars more (if I could just find a few like that whole). Thanks again. (in reply to Baydog51) Post #: 6
