I don't have my redbook here at work but I'm thinking these are maybe $3 - $5 each? What is the jug/crock underneath the pepsi hat? Can I see a pic of that please. Thank you.

RE: Telephone Jars - 7/21/2010 4:32:08 PM    junkyard jack   Posts: 318 Joined: 3/23/2009 Status: offline Redbook value for smooth lip jars complete with wire(s) & lid : Half Gallon $15-20, Quart $6-8 Pint $8-10. These are RB10 #2792 Aqua jars. Produced between 1905-1910 by the Whitney Glass Works of Glassboro, NJ. I myself have always wondered why a canning/fruit jar would be named "The Telephone Jar". ???

RE: Telephone Jars - 8/7/2010 4:11:54 AM    dygger60 Posts: 403 Joined: 2/2/2010 From: Hill town area, New York Status: offline I read in a reference that the name Telephone jar was given because it was advertised that their jars were so easy to use that you could talk on the telephone while canning with it. But one thing I have to note here.....I have never seen a half gallon Telephone Jar....and I believe that if you did come across one from someone that knows jars.....you will be paying well over $15-$20. Just my opinion.....that is a VERY tough half gallon jar to find. If anyone has a picture of one please share it....would love to see what a half gallon Telephone Jar looks like.
