Lustre Jar Questions? - 4/4/2008 10:05:43 PM    Michael Littman   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/4/2008 Status: offline I picked up some jars this last weekend and wanted to know a bit more about some of them. Here is a jar marked Lustre made by a firm out of Philadelphia. Any idea of approximate age of this jar? Approximate value? < Message edited by Michael Littman -- 4/4/2008 10:09:24 PM > Post #: 1

I picked up a bunch of jars to can up some pipe tobacco and wanted to learn about them before I did so. Looks like a very nice hobby here. (in reply to coreya) Post #: 3
