No wonder I`d rather dig. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/e4ujS1er1r0 (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 3

The site doesn't have one. I called this AM because I wanted the new book also but the link didn't work to buy it. I also wondered if he knew about these. Are they in RB10? _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to L C) Post #: 5

What a nice guy. That's it really, he's familiar with the jars. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 6

Didnt see anyone buying them. It seems like that stuff they use to make fake stained glass windows.

That's why I was suggesting to beware in the future. It's not just these jars but anything posted as old. Bottles, furniture, pottery etc.. If they were everywhere before, they're getting more likely by the day. This seller is upfront and that's great. It doesn't help much 10 years from now. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to coreya) Post #: 10

Even without the obviously new lid, the "ground"lip looks like someone ran some coarse sandpaper over a smooth lip. (in reply to dmagave) Post #: 12
