help w/ ID of dug jar - 6/23/2008 1:52:20 PM    druggistnut Posts: 307 Joined: 1/7/2006 Status: offline The only piece I could find with embossing is what you see. PET. I can't track it down, so any help is appreciated I guess I want to know if I need to go back and sift.  <grin> I have the base and a lot of the jar, but no other embossing. Thanks, Bill Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The missing lid would have a 1869 patent date on it. With lid and clamp and in good condition, the jar is worth about $100. George (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 2

Otterson of Camden NJ.  _____________________________ http://groups.msn.com/FruitJarRingBoxes (in reply to druggistnut) Post #: 4

RE: help w/ ID of dug jar - 6/26/2008 3:49:28 PM    druggistnut Posts: 307 Joined: 1/7/2006 Status: offline Thanks Tammy, Tony and George. I did find the jar in my Red Book.  It isn't the L &W variant, Tammy. When I searched for it, I was looking for something with PET in the word. I never thought to look just for PET. <grin> I have the insert for it and I kept every rusty thing I found, but nothing came out of the rust that looks remotely like a closure. Bummer. It's a half gallon jar, so I'm going to piece it together, as best as I can. Tony, I have storage units (3) floor to ceiling, with boxes, plus what I have here at home. It will take me a while to find everything from Wisconsin, but I know I've dug a bunch, over the years. I'm looking at a mint Stevens Point labeled beer on my shelf, which I picked up recently. I have the Hurley druggist, a Belle City blob w/original closure and a quart clay beer from somewhere in Wisc. I'll look for it, as I know it's here in this room, somewhere.
