Jars with rings below the rim

Yes, I was thinking jelly/jam. I'm not old enough to recall the wax sealed ones. I also dug this one up near those. The inside of what's left of the lid says "Consolidated Fruit Jar Company, New York, N.Y. The bottom has the Owens O in a square logo and number 34 (1934)?

Jars with rings below the rim

Can anyone ID what these 1920-30s jars were used for? My guess is that they were for jelly, or pickled fish. They had lids that you pried off and pressed back on. There are rings just below the rims. The middle jar has either a crown, or chess pawn and the number 70.

Prohibition era ABC X 28 N Beer/Soda Bottle

I dug up this green beer/soda bottle from a site that was in use during the 1920s. Could the ABC mean Alcohol Beverage Control? Only "near-beer" with less than .5% alcohol could be legally sold during Prohibition. Is anyone familiar with this bottle?
