Hi there,

Thanks,

Hi there, I was thinking about picking up a Queen Jar with the word Widemouth misspelled. It is spelled “Widemuth”. Would anyone know what the value of this jar should be? I’m thinking it is a $5 to $10 Jar but I think the seller will want much more. Any input appreciated.

I recently picked up a number of dirty and worn pop crates. I was wondering if there was a way to clean them without wearing the graphics away any further and also preserving them better for the future?

Can someone also tell me how to rotate pic's to post properly :)

Hi there,
I just picked up a Crown Mason Jar pre- 1928 (before they started embossing "Made in Canada" on the jars). I have several of Crown jars in my collection but have never seen a base embossed with only 3 dots in a triangle formation. Most have a Dominion Glass (Diamond D) makers mark...
