The Doolittle Self-Sealer, info? - 5/3/2010 1:08:36 PM    RIBottleguy Posts: 887 Joined: 3/5/2008 From: South Kingstown, RI Status: offline I recently bought this bottle for a pretty low price.  I saw a mint example go for $130ish on an online auction site.  Not bad for a ABM aqua fruit jar!  I'm guessing the pint size is the rarest, but I don't have the lid.  If someone has Red Book info and/or a lid they would consider selling, let me know!  Enjoy the pics.

If it does it should say "GJCo." The base embossed jar is RB10 # 813. Aqua quart $125-150, Small-Mouth aqua pint $300 & up. The lid/wire for this jar constitutes 50% of the jar's value. No base embossing would be RB10 # 813-1. Only listed in aqua quart size $80-100. Again, the lid/wire clips account for 50% of this jar's value. (in reply to RIBottleguy) Post #: 2
