CHICAGO" ---same--- "BUNTE ESTABLISHED CHICAGO 1876" "KIVLAN, ONTHANK, BOSTON" (on base) All listed as common canning jars $2-3 dollars. Company listed mostly as wholesale confectioners from 1874 thru 1910. Not sure if his applies to your jars but is some info I found in any case. < Message edited by Ye Olde Prospector -- 3/9/2005 8:39:55 AM > (in reply to madman) Post #: 3

Approximately 24 sizes exist, valued from $10-$20. Watch for those lids! Byron (in reply to madman) Post #: 5
