HELLO, THIS JAR IS HARD TO GET GOOD PICS BECAUSE OF COLOR. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS THE JAR IS IN MINT CONDITION ON BOTTOM & TOP OF LIP IS ALL HAND GROUND & ALSO IN GREAT CONDITION. ALL I AM GOING OFF OF AS REFERENCE IS MY GOOD FRIEND HAS A SET OF THESE JARS HE HAS HAD SINCE THE EARLY 1950'S THAT HE ALSO DUG IN DUMP. HE HAS BOOK THAT CLEARLY STATES THAT THERE WAS MILK GLASS JARS MADE IN THE 1860-1880'S AS WAS THE OTHER MASON 1858 JARS. ALSO THERE WAS SOME 1858 MASONS REPRODUCED IN THE 1970'S. MY FRIEND MILT HAS A BOTTLE REFERENCE BOOK FROM WHICH I GAVE REFERENCE TO MINE FROM. I WILL TRY TO GET THE BOOK NAME FROM HIM TO GET INFO BACK TO U IF CAN BEFORE AUCTION ENDS.

You would think someone who deals in antiques would have a clue! HELLO, IT DOES HAVE THE NUMBER 97 ON BOTTOM NOT 971. THERE IS THREE SEAMS.

RE: repo or not? - 7/9/2010 10:24:51 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline the only clear pic the seller had was looking down on the mouth/top. Redbook #9 lists it at $30-50... ....ended with no bids. Wonder if he'll relist with better pix and "updated" description?
