Hi all, and of course Bob Clay I hope.
We picked these up the past few days, looking for the 3-L jars and looking for ones that appealed to us. My wife liked also what Bob likes, the handwritten look to the 3-L ball. I noticed the first one, the small ball MASON, and we went to bobs sight and...
I have never seen one like this but then again, I'm pretty new to bottles.
I don't have a picture, becuase it is at a flea mart/mall
