Favorite Jar for August 2014

jarsnstuff · Aug 12, 2014

Here's another favorite, a Cobalt streaked Kerr 65th Anniversary jar with "birdswing". It's my understanding that this was intentionally done to a few of the cobalt streaked jars, though I've never seen anything about how many were done this way. Maybe Jim Sinsley can add some clarification?

I know all about the making of those jars, I was there, but to my knowledge, the bird swing is an anomaly that just occurs. I don't think it could have been produced on purpose on an automatic bottle machine. I've never seen one of those jars with the bird swing so you very well may have a unique, one of a kind item. No doubt it's worth twice what a regular one is and it has a comparatively large amount of cobalt color. TERRIFIC item. Jim

Great jar! I'll be posting a favorite of mine when I get a chance. I really hope others post up some pictures. These threads are a great idea for an otherwise somewhat quiet forum.

Here is my favorite jar for August. Just got it in this past week. I collect the half gallon jars with different closures, makes for a nice varied collection. When I got this jar in I found out it was only actually the 48oz. variation, but still a cool jar. David

I think/hope I deleted the right ones Tammy. This was the one that had a reply. I did get a bit confused by it all.[8|]

Here are two recent favorites. They are Ball Perfection jars that are both 1 of a kind so far. The base is a half gallon with both year dates as 1900. The second date should be 1907. The full jar is a quart with a dropped R which was unknown in the quart size. Enjoy.

My favorite for the month. Half the jar is Ball Blue and the other half is green. Also has a reversed "B" in Bail.

Here's my favorite jar for this month. It's a quart ALMY over erased "JAR". I tried to get a good picture of the erased word. It's really easy to see in person. This jar has quite a few seed bubbles around too. The glass lid really completes this one.[attachment=ALMY 1.jpg] [attachment=ALMY 2.jpg]

Nice, or is it a lousy peening job? Anyway, shows fine in the pics.[
