RE: starting out - 6/19/2010 7:44:52 AM    swizzle Posts: 3583 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline The Milk of Magnesia is real common. People still buy them for window bottles though. I can usually get a buck a piece for them. The last one that I dug has a bit more embossing on it. As far as the Jars goes. That Tight Seal looks like it might be a good one. Scroll down a few more forums and post those in the Jars section and you'll get a few more hits there. Keep on posting. Swiz (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 7

Like the jars , just starting to get 'into' those myself, have dug a few, including  a couple last week,  that one's  unusual, unsure a value, but I;d pay 2 bucks  any day enjoy and welcome to the asylum . ~ AL (in reply to thetater) Post #: 9
