RE: butter jar - 2/14/2008 3:17:44 PM    idigjars Posts: 1284 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: offline Hi Jamie, redbook 10 lists a "Mason's CFJCo Improved Butter Jar" as number 1688.  It lists a quart in aqua for $150-200.  Clear $200-250.  It also has in bold letters "Beware of Reproductions".  The redbook doesn't have any information on these reproduction jars in the back of the book.  I googled it and got a link but it wouldn't open.  No matter what you did good for $14.     Congratulations on your find!    Paul (in reply to glass man) Post #: 2

The few repos I have seen had a crappy repo band (very obvious) and a smooth lip but even the repros aren't very common. _____________________________ 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 idigjars) Post #: 3

RE: butter jar - 2/16/2008 10:21:12 AM    bobclay   Posts: 294 Joined: 1/7/2006 Status: offline Hi all, "Beware of the repros" is good warning here. They look real good, with a couple exceptions. The repros are embossed MASON'S CFJC (with no "o") IMPROVED BUTTER JAR. (should be CFJCo) And the repros lack base embossing, which should be a letter and a couple numbers. No base embossing? No "o" beside the logo? Leave it alone. Bob (in reply to glass man) Post #: 5

I collect every category[or try to] of bottles and jars. This is one of the problems of not specializing ,but I would miss so much! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE KNOWLEDGE! _____________________________ I don't know where life will take me,but I know where I'VE been.I don't know what life will show me,but I know what I have seen ...AND now it's time to move along...,BUT I KNOW THAT MY FAITH WILL LEAD ME ON.
