Is that 1 gallon or is it 2/3rds? It looks a little small to me. Fill it up for curiosity sake please.
Nice as the Racine in the circle either way.

They're weird. There are Imperial half's, 20 oz., Gallons and many others that are and aren't listed. I bought mine for $10 because I liked it at the time. I kept my sugar in it for a while but didn't like that measuring out was so difficult.
I looked it up later and the book was at $25-30. I doubt I'd get my ten back now. Maybe at a flea market but the shipping wouldn't make it worth while any other way.
I figure they'd be perfect for marbles, buttons, spare change (if there is such a thing) etc.

I am going though my mom's stuff and found one which I will post here. It is about 10.5 " tall.

I like those Horlick's jars, only one I've got though is the little sample size, oddly enough. I don't see them often, and I don't think I've seen a single one in Ontario or Quebec. Not sure why.

As for that original one posted, I'm pretty sure that one's a store display. I don't remember ever seeing a bottom like that on a non-display bottle at that time period.

I found 4 of those little sample sizes in a privy a few months ago. LEON.
