new poster...need help with mincemeat jar please - 12/5/2011 10:58:35 PM    calisa   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/5/2011 Status: offline First my name is Lisa...I found this site researching a jar I have. It is a half gallon (i checked to be sure) jar.  The bottom reads Atmore & Son then in the middle is says Mincemeat and below that it reads Philadelphia.   I got all excited when I found this earlier post from a few years ago...As far as the Atmore & Son jar you said you dug, that would be Red Book 10 jar # 1875-1 : Mason's Patent Nov.30th 1858 base embossed "Atmore & Son Mincemeat Philadelphia" Listed only in 1/2 gallon size & valued at $600.00 - $750.00. A very nice hard to find jar, and in my opinion, another under-valued jar. Very nice find! then I asked a friend who collects and she said if it doesnt say Mason anywhere on it then it is worth maybe $5...the color I am guess has changed over the years.  It is a dusky sort of grey color and I think it has a purple tint to it...I can post pics, well, I will attempt too anyways.  Looking to see if you "experts" can tell me anything about it, if it is worth anything and is ebay the best bet if it is.  I have a picture of it with the band on the rim too, I obtained it like this but not sure if it is the original???

It shows a value of 35-50 in hg but the lid etc is 50% of value. Nice one never the less (in reply to calisa) Post #: 4
