I'm helping with an estate and came across this little bottle. I'm curious if anyone can give me info, especially approximate age and value? I don't want to toss something of value, but there is a lot of stuff and I only collect Mason jars! It seems to have an iridescent paint or glaze on the...
I'm not a digger and never understood why people dig! I always just found them on my grandparents and great grandparents property. I get it! Great bottles! Love the middle 3!
Knox is one of my favorites, not sure if I have the one in the picture. And I'm partial to clear jars, but usually color makes it worth more. Great find!
I had several small bottles, maybe a bit larger, but I know mine were for dental purposes, as my GreatUncle was a dentist, and I found them in an old house used for dental care on our farm.
I know this is a really old post, but I'm just catching up.
It's in Red book 11. Adirondack Mts (arch) Virgin Forest Trade (horse shoe & trees) Mark Hose shoe Forestry Co, Horse shoe St Lawrence Co N.Y. Base: unmarked; lid unknown Ground lip, mason shoulder seal. Squat PT Clear. $50-75
Owens-Illinois Glass company made the bottle. The plant code is either 8 or 18 , so either Glassboro, NJ plant or Columbus Ohio plant. Sorry I know nothing about the dairy, just noticed the marks on the bottom of the bottle. I have an old qt milk bottle but it doesn't have any marks like that. I...
Looked it up in Red book. It appears to be # 263-5. It agrees with you that it should be mid 1890's. It shows the value for half gallon aqua as $35-40. Keep in mind, things are worth what someone will pay for them. Red book doesn't label things as "rare" that I can tell, but the price means it's...
Thanks! I did notice that mine says "half gallon" on it near the base. I knew it wasn't a reproduction, but then was curious as to how long ago they were made. I'm pretty certain a farmer and his wife did not buy a fake jar. The number of "mayonnaise jars" in my grandmother's pump house when she...
Hi,
I realize this is a ten year old post, but I have a Speas vinegar jar (not the ginger jar, this one has a handle), but it says "U-sav-it" on the back. When were "reproductions" done? This jar was found among jars that haven't been touched for years. Ok, decades. it appears to be a half gallon.
