    Caw's ink, NY

    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...

    Just a picture for show and tell

    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!

    Mason jar

    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!

    Newbie needing help.

    I really like the bottle though! Might could give/sell it to an"antiques and collectibles" store.

    POSSIBLY SMALLEST THING IVE EVER FOUND WHAT WAS IN THIS LOL

    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.

    How much is too much?

    I've never paid money for a bottle or jar. I find them on our property. Most my grandmother or aunt had saved.

    Alcoa Dairy milk bottle

    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...

    Please help! Ball Mason's N Patent Nov 30th 1858 1/2 gallon

    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...

    Another Speas repro to be aware of

    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...

    Another Speas repro to be aware of

    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.

    Anybody know what the S stands for? Please and thank you!

    Red Book also says the clear quart or half gallon is worth $50-75, even if you can't call it rare, it's still worth something. And it's a good-looking jar!

    -Atlas- Mason's Patent Jar with mixed color.

    Funny. That's the highest value I've heard for any of my jars! So the ugly one stays! Of course, I like the clear ones, and broke one I'd never seen before last weekend. Sterling Mason. Hmph. It was actually cracked, which I didn't see when I picked it up, but then I washed it anyway and it...

    -Atlas- Mason's Patent Jar with mixed color.

    Thanks so much for your input! Amazing that such an ugly jar can be worth so much more than my other pretty ones!
