Kent...It's about 1 1/2 inches across and 3/4 inch tall. I dug it out of a box of bottles that my dad had collected so the age is totally unknown. It does look like a stopper of some sort. I'm pretty close to Smith Glass, Anchor glass, and Bryce glass factories. It could have come from one of them.
At least your surprises were good! Last week while going through some more bottles and jars at my mom's I found a mason jar with a "powdered" mouse in the bottom! It took a while to figure out what it was, looked like dirt with feet and a tail! It must have fallen in the jar and couldn't get...
I've learned so much here! At least now I can go through some of the bottles in Mom's basement and know immediately that they're very common!! LOL I did find a glass 2 liter pepsi with the lid and thought it seemed unusual. Are they uncommon? I didn't take a pic but can if necessary. Thanks!
Would this be an apothecary jar? It's about 7" tall and the inside of the opening is ground. It has seams up to the narrow part and a seam around the bottom edge. Also on the bottom are 3 tiny "dots" Probably can't see them in pic but I'll try! [;)]
The seams are on the narrow sides. On one of the wide sides there's a bubble. There's nothing on the bottom. The bottom does appear to have been put on separately, there's a seam around the bottom.
Aw heck!! [:(] I guess all those boxes of jars are just glass! Thanks for the info Tammy, you sure know your jars! I better go look for some Knox lids now [:D]
Hey Ed! I'm sooo jealous[;)] I have a few maps from one of those atlases. I think mine are from 1878. I'd be intersted to know if my house is on it. We kinda thought it was built in 1877. Let me know if you see Mrs. Pore's house on main st. Or George Baughman's, I'm still curious about him.
I...
We bought this carboy (what a fun word!) at a recent estate auction. Hubby wants it for wine but if I find out it has some value I might have to sneak off and sell it! LOL The seams don't go all the way to the top and the bottom is very rough. As usual my photos are awful! [:(]
Ok, I went through 6 boxes of jars looking for a 13! I found 1 but it had a chip in the rim. Are you sure the superstitious number isn't 5? LOL If it was I'd have a fortune!!! I did find 2 Knox Mason Jars that seemed different. They're square quarts with knox then a keystone with a K in it then...
