I enjoy this site immensely. I was just looking at a half gallon fruit and realized it was a different name than I was familiar with. It is a Drey Perfect Mason. Is this modern or older?  Thanks in advance for a reply. Tom Post #: 1

Your jar would be worth a few dollars?  Hope this helps.  Kalamazoo River?  If you live close enough, on Saturday April 12th there will be a bottle show at the 4H Fairgrounds in Kalamzoo, it's located on Lake Street. Make it if you can and say hello.  I will be setup and will be wearing a hat marked "Piso's Cure".  Take care and good luck with your collecting, digging, and finding items.             Paul    (in reply to TommyD) Post #: 2

I have noticed that there are bottle shows there.No it is not far (Otsego). I thought that jar might be from the 60's to 70's but am overjoyed that it is older whether it is worth much or not.
