I am going to try and get a few pictures up of this one, but I dug up a baby food like bottle that has ridged texture up 7 sides and has 7 more slick sides and then has embossed near the top "The Shearin Co." and on the opposite side "Atlanta. GA." all in caps. Notice it does have a period after Atlanta and after GA. Only thing on the bottom is a number 14. Any help is good.

Thanks
John

Guess I have no one who has a clue on this jar? I can say that this jar dates pre-1940 and most likely is pre-30's as the elaborite desing suggests roaring 20's. Here's a couple of pictures. Any information will be appreciated.

I got nothing on a company.
It could have been used for just about anything. Maybe mustard or even paint.
Is there a base mark?

Just an old style "14" as seen in most early machine made bottle. The seem is also well defined which has me believing that this was a very early machine made jar, possibly 19teens-20's. I did locate a Shearin Cycle & Supply Company in Atlanta during 1921-22. I do not have any idea if it's related but it is my best lead. If it is the right Shearin, does anyone know what a cycle shop would have had in a jar like this?
