This is a question for all the fruit jar collectors. I ran across some clear, screw top, mason jars while bottle hunting today. They were embossed with different vegetables above the word MASON. What I mean by that is, that one was embossed onions, one embossed cheese? and another vegetable I can't remember. On the side they had the typical measurement marks. I would provide a picture, but I did not know if they were worth bringing home or not, and left them in the woods. Can someone please tell me the age. I will probably go back and get them just for my collection anyway. Thanks for any replies. Marvin

Hi- I agree with Woody- very common, newer jars, not worth much. John

Well hello Mr Mole. I think Lobey is right. Several companies since the early 70s have used those to put their sauces in. They are still worht the price of a fruit jar and fruit jars aint all that cheap anymore.

Marvin, before you run out and buy those, you might want to stop by your local grocery store and see if you can find the same things in the pasta sauce aisle. You probably won't pay much more for them - with the bonus that you'll get to enjoy the pasta sauce. Also, if you do find them at the grocery, and after you consume the good stuff inside, keep the lid & leave the labels on them. If they will ever be worth anything, the original lid & label can't hurt. -Tammy

Tammy, Thanks for the reply. These jar's are lying out in the woods. No buying envolved. I just never ran across this variety before. They are not the HARVEST style mason's, with a group of vegetables, but individual vegetables embossed on each jar. As though the jar was made for that one vegetable. Thanks again, Marvin

I wish I had not lost track of what happened to my grandmothers' and mother's fruit jars. I still have a few Mason jars. I have an M.D.E. milk bottle from Memphis Dairy ?....I am old enough to remember as a child having my milk delivered to my front door IN BOTTLES!!!!
