    Mason's Patent SCA Unlisted

    I acquired a HG Mason's Patent shoulder seal in a nice SCA color. Very lavendar. I know it's RB 1756 but that doesn't list a HG Clear at all. 1756-1 is a HG Clear Mason's Patent but mine doesn't have the Mason's variant it is talking about. I wonder why 1756 doesn't list a half gallon. And...

    Amber Ball Perfect Mason

    I haven't been on here in a while, but just had to post my estate auction find today as no one else in my house is as excited as I am. It wasn't advertised as the auctioneer didn't know what he had. Thought for a while I might get it under $50, but someone caught on and I had to pay a little...

    Reproduction Lightning

    that's exactly what the lid looked like on the one I saw. I didn't know how to describe it other than rough. But the lip was smooth. Thanks for the picture.

    Reproduction Lightning

    No I didn't take a picture. I didn't need to really, I know it was a reproduction. Makes me sad really. This auctioneer I would consider a friend, I've gone to his auctions for years and I never thought he would be dishonest. I am hoping I can give him the benefit of the doubt, and he was...

    Reproduction Lightning

    I saw a Trademark Lightning jar at a local auction. The auctioneer told me it would be there, knowing I would be interested. I was 99.9% sure it was a reproduction. It was dark amber, said Putnam 227 on the bottom, I didn't like the way the bottom looked either. Then the lid itself was...

    Modern amber bottle

    RE: Modern amber bottle base Makes sense, because this was an estate auction of a veterinarian. I'll take another pic in the daylight. I collect fruit jars, but this bottle intrigued me.

    Modern amber bottle

    What can you tell me about this bottle/jar? I got it in a box today at an auction. It's obviously a modern jar with the mold seam going through the lip. But the base looks similiar to a pontil mark. It's 10 inches tall, and doesn't have any embossing on it. There are no swirls in the glass...

    The Jar Factory Continues to Produce

    That's OK Dan, I've bought 12 jars in the last 2 months and my hubby is beginning to wonder about me :) I'll post some of my pics soon.

    McDonald jars

    I have quite a few that I've gotten in Iowa and they are on ebay all the time, I just don't want to pay too much for them. I would love to find something scarce.

    McDonald jars

    Thanks for the info, that's more than I had before. My maiden name is McDonald and I'm in Iowa so we plan on taking a trip to MN and check out some shops there to see if they have anything else on them. Jane

    First two bottles

    What's your opinion of the value of the Bitters? I've seen a couple different numbers on here. Nothing online that I can find at the moment.
