MELLIN'S INFANT FOOD jar info - 7/11/2008 11:37:32 PM    Hoosier49er   Posts: 65 Joined: 8/2/2005 Status: offline I picked this up at a garage sale REAL cheap. I can't find my Red Book. Can someone please tell me what the RB# is and value please? It is 5" tall, tooled lip, somewhere between aqua and apple green in color, nothing on bottom, and says "MELLIN'S INFANT'S FOOD   DOLIBER-GOODALE Co.   BOSTON" on front, and  "SMALL SIZE" on back. Looks like it took a cork or wax seal. I have a more recent pint size version as well. It just says "MELLINS" on the front and back, and took a screw on lid, with a smooth top in aqua. Here's apic of the older jar: Thanks in advance, Attachment (1) _____________________________ Joe Hoosier49er Post #: 1

RB includes some product jars ie Horlicks and WA-NE-TA but they were intended for or commonly used for canning when the product was gone. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
