    Ill. Pacific Glass jar...id please.

    I know this is an Illinois Pacific Glass Co. jar from the 1920s. But, would this have been used for canning, or just was from something bought in a store? If for canning, would it have had a metal closure/lid like the "improved everlasting" jar? Thank you.

    Finds after 9 days of rain
