It reads on the back if you lay it down:
Thank you AJ.I will be sure to write that down this time.[8|]The jar holds 20 ounces if you fill it up to the neck.That is an Olive jar lid I put on it for looks.I looked around the dig area for the lid,but it would have been pretty bad,unless it was Zinc, if it was there as were all the other metal items.Thank you again for your help.
I have a Mason lid but it is too deep for this jar.A Midget wasn`t that thin either was it?Im on a 12 hr. shift where I only work 3 or 4 days or nights in a row.Shift work sux but I get 7 days off in a row every month.Right now my schedule is Fri.,Sat.,Sun. days with today off and Tues.,Wed.,Thurs.nights and then the week-end off.I work 2 week-ends and have 2 week-ends off per month.
This is for Ajohn and Wangan, especially You are right ajohn about it being a beaded neck seal, screw type. But, the bead was started on jar finishes and a lot of narrow neck bottles because it was needed to hold the parison when it was transferred to the final blow mold. When the mold closed; the transferred parison rested on the top of the mold neck edge. It hung there while the blowhead was set on top of the finish and the final blow air blew the parison out to contact the mold cavity and bottom plate surfaces.
