    I wish this myth would be exterminated

    Here is a jar that makes me cringe every time I see it listed on epay. I've seen it described as a salesman sample, and it really has no right to be listed in the jar category. The only link to the fruit jar world happens to be a zinc lid that will screw onto the openings. The epay item...

    new finds for October 2014

    Here’s a couple to kick start the new finds folder for October. I had a chance to hit an antique show/flea market up north today. Came away with 2 lettered 1858’s. The first pick-up was a ½ gallon with an H. It’s a little light on the embossing and depth of color, but as a bonus it came with...

    Anybody seen a wooden Ball jar before??

    Anybody seen one of these before? It's wooden & crude but definitely looks factory made. The arrangement of the lettering is actually a close match for Redbook #259-4. That jar dates to around 1888-1893. This piece is nowhere near that old, if I had to guess, maybe made in the 1950's? Any...

    Manchester NH 2013

    Made it to the July 20th National Bottle show in Manchester NH. It took me about 3 ½ hours to make the drive one way. The Radisson Expo Center was a good choice because there was plenty of room in the aisles to navigate the tables, with free parking to boot. The only drawback I saw to the...

    deja vu

    Found these two at the Brimfield antique show this past week. The dealer had 3 half gallons, with the other being a Ball Mason. When I looked at these two I thought, "hey wait a minute, these 2 have the same mold number." After laying them side by side I realized that they had been made in...

    pint Schram solid pour

    This is a circa 1907-20 aqua pint Schram solid pour. The solid pour would have ended up as Redbook # 2569, and for comparison sake I have it next to a similar clear pint from around the same time frame. On page 755 of the 2011 Standard Fruit Jar Reference, six solid pour pints are known. This...

    ...Kings and Queens...

    Stopped at a garage sale on the way back from a job about 45 minutes west. They had a five gallon pail of canning jars, with most of them 1/2 pints. I set aside a dozen clear Ball ideals, a 1/2 dozen Atlas E-Z Seals...and at the bottom of the pail, I about fell over. I picked out 2 unembossed...

    Anybody seen this glass insert?

    Picked up a box of lids, and this was inside. Kinda driving me crazy because I can't find what jar this insert would go with. Went Redbook page for page in the c's, and still couldn't find it. Lettering surrounding the center logo reads, 'PAT'D MAY 26 1885 N.Y. SCREW TOP WORKS'. Anybody got...
