stuck lids need help!

I think I would set them upside down and spray some PB Blaster from the auto parts store around the lid and let it soak overnight.- Gary

I got antother Wax sealer for my collection today

Really like that color on a crude jar like that. I think your right on the mfg. time frame, but I'm not sure that's a pontil mark. Could it just be some defect from mfg.?

Jar Lid

According to my Red Book the top lid goes to 3 different jars. Brighton, Fruit Keeper, or The Magic Fruit Jar, all nice jars in the $40-400 range for jars with lids and clamps.

My new jar arrived

Thought I'd throw up a pic of the HG re-united with her quart size sisters in a group shot. My IP petal jar is to the right of the HG just for comparison. I think I may need an intervention or something.[:(]

My new jar arrived

I've got a petal and they do look very similiar. I've noticed also about these jars that I've never seen one with content stain. I assume that they were all cork sealed and the contents evaporated or spilled out before enough time passed for content stain due to drying and skrinking corks or...

I just love these old cork seal type jars. I know unembossed jars aren't everyones favorite but these types are my favorites. This is my first one in HG size. I have several in quart size with IP and hinge mold which are fairly common, but I don't see many in HG. Does anyone have any guesses...
