Pacific Glass Works S.F. food jar - 11/20/2008 9:34:53 PM    Wilkie Posts: 493 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline This is a rare jar and as you can see has some issues.  When I was in 3rd grade, we moved to an OLD house in Oroville, California.  This was one of many jars that were hiding in the fruit cellar in a card board box.  My step dad kept it but I aquired his collection 3 years later.  This is pretty rare and the 1999 edition of "1000 Fruit Jars" by Bill Schroeder, listed the value at 500 dollars.  Of course not in this poor conditon.  The jar IS INTACT, never been glued, but has some serious cracks throughout.  More than 35 years have passed and they have not gotten worse, it is holding together on it's own accord.  I am not a jar collector and would like to find out if there is any interest in this jar.  It would have to be a local collector because I wouldn't want to take a chance shipping it.  Attachment (1) < Message edited by Wilkie -- 11/21/2008 10:38:58 AM > _____________________________ www.myspace.com/westernbottles I buy samples, Jamaica Gingers from anywhere and Northern California hutches, blob tops.

It's also quart with the same face embossing as yours, Tim. Unfortunately, it too is cracked. In fact, it had a piece broken out of the side that my buddy glued back in place. No other damage is evident. _____________________________ Mike Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to Wilkie) Post #: 4

For me to dig something like that would bring on a torential flood of tears and earth racking sobs. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Stardust) Post #: 6
