MASON'S PATENT FJCCo - 5/24/2004 5:51:07 PM    Harry Pristis   Posts: 495 Joined: 7/24/2003 From: Northcentral Florida Status: offline I need some help identifying and valuing a canning jar that I "rescued" at a flea market yesterday. The jar is an aqua half-gallon MASON'S / PATENT NOV 30th / 1858 with a monogram which appears to be FJCCo. The base is embossed B274. The lips on both jars are ground. This half-gallon jar is very crude, having many air bubbles and "straws" in the glass. This half-gallon is pictured here with a quart jar with similar embossing. This smaller jar is embossed on the base I 103. I've had this quart jar for a long time, but don't know anything about it, either. Whatever you can tell me about mfr., rarity or value will be appreciated. ----------------Harry Pristis Attachment (1) _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html Post #: 1

He immediate reaction was; "How much do you want for it?" A real nice guy and knows his fruit jars. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to Harry Pristis) Post #: 5
