Here's a couple of articles from the FOHBC that you may find of interest: A Primer on Fruit Jars, and Fruit Jars... A History Worth remembering. If you can put up some photos of your discoveries, we'd all like to see them, and it might make identification easier. Here's one "An overall excellent example of the Whitney Glass Works TELEPHONE JAR. Produced by the Whitney Glass Works of Glassboro,New JERSEY 1897 - 1918. This jar C. 1905 - 1910 Red Book # 2790 - 2 for reference." For sale @ this place. (in reply to peterfox) Post #: 3
