Unmarked Fruit Jar - Economy? - 2/20/2008 5:36:19 PM    jinxxy3   Posts: 17 Joined: 2/18/2008 Status: offline Hi again.  I'm so glad I found this place, you're all going to be tired of me by the time I get through sorting. This one is a pint jar, SCA, though not as deep as the pics show, but still nice.  It has no markings on the sides, and only a faint 4 on the base, just above the center circle.   It is the same size and shape as my Kerr Economy jars (or just Economy?).  It's got a shoulder seam and a seam around the base, too, which is very well definied.  I can feel vertical waves, but nothing that feels like poorly embossed letters.  They're just waves, which can also be felt on the inside. Any ideas? Attachment (1) Post #: 1
