Hi All,
I found about a dozen ‘ATLAS E – Z SEAL’ and one BALL jar. I found them in what I think is a fifties dump (dated by some Coca-Cola bottles I found there).
I have no idear if these things are collectable, but two of the ATLAS jars are really nice to look at. One is a sort of green translucent color while the other is a similarly translucent blue. I cleaned them up, set them on the windowsill, and when the sunlight catches the wavy, colored glass, they look quite nice. My wife has now declared them her favorites, so even though they are not very old, they are keepers.
So, are these things collectable? Am I correct in concluding that they are from the fifties? Were these jars purchased by themselves or was food packed in them? I misplaced my Zumwaltz book - I'd bet there's some info on these in there...
BTW - the only embossing on the jars is:
ATLAS
E - Z
SEAL
That is on the front. A number is on each of the the bottoms (9 on the smaller jars (about a pint) and seven on the larger jars (about a quart).
