She said the little guy has a name but she can't remember it. < Message edited by capsoda -- 6/12/2007 2:39:10 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to logueb) Post #: 5

RE: What was this? - 6/18/2007 10:11:59 AM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 910 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Here's a pic of one of the jars your  top went on. It's Colgans Gum also called Tolu Taffey. My jar is full of marbles I have dug and you see I have a non original top on mine. I dug the top but it's in the same condition as yours so not much good for the jar.
