New but old here.

There is also the cab to a WW2 truck at the camp, so they definitely had more surplus other then the Bren Gun cairrer. They were sold cheap because they had so many and they couldn't do anything with them. People even used them as tractors on farms.

Yes, we are trying to salvage it, but its really heavy and in a hard to get at location. It was originally flipped upside down with two trees growing through it, so we cleaned it up and this is how it looks now. They probably used it for logging. They stripped some parts of of this one which was...

Your bottle was made in 1927 by Owens bottle Co at the plant in Huntington, West Virginia. The number to the right is the date code and the number to the left is the plant/factory code. Owens glass Co merged with Illinois bottle Co to form Owens Illinois glass company in 1929.

We are actually in southern Ontario for the winter right now, but we will be going North within a couple weeks and I really want to do a lot more digging this year. There's this one logging camp that they probably built in the 20s and used up into the late 70s or early 80s. A stream runs though...

Thanks, in the thread on the Kerr jar there is an H which I believe is the Maker's Mark, but I'll have to look into that. Then there is a backwards 3 - 1. I also forgot to mention that the clear ball jar with no embossing on the sides has two small holes/indents near the top. It looks to me like...
